Trix is Back! with Balls

Sunday, September 30th, 2007

Trix BallsFinally, after years of tear the roof of your mouth with inedible “fruit shaped” cereal they’ve gone back to their roots of fruit flavored sweetened corn puff balls! “Balls, they were never balls before, you’re crazy!” is the response I’ve often gotten for years when I’d reminiscing remark on the good old days of Trix. Which, not surprisingly, I’ve done quite often when faced with modern cereal selections. It’s refreshing to see a cereal going back to how it once was instead of following the sickening trend of “new and improved” destruction of the breakfast staple. Now if only Honey Combs and Cheerios would follow suit and stop: adding fruit, “improving the taste” and down-right creating Styrofoam tasting, non-milk absorbing, formerly known as cereal, processed wheat and corn.

ChocoMallows

ChocoMallowsThey’ve finally done it! Mainstream chocolate flavored marshmallows by none other than the corporate giant Kraft with their Jet Puffed marshmallows brand. Now you can enjoy the savory goodness of soaking a marshmallow in cocoa without the soggy mess or the prep time of mixing cocoa. With this simple, yet genius move gone are the days of needing a chocolate bar to make a smore, thus taking a three ingredient recipe and making it two! I must say hats off to you guys for pulling this long overdue rabbit out of the hat.
