Trix is back to its old tricks - and people who like their breakfast cereal green and blue can rejoice. The colorful cereal will once again be made with artificial dyes and flavors, nearly two years after they were banished from the cereal.
General Mills, which makes Trix, says customers asked for the old formula to come back.
The Minneapolis-based company had made the changes in 2016 to try and appeal to parents who were increasingly concerned about what ingredients were in their food. But when it switched to using turmeric, strawberries and other natural sources, the cereal lost its famous neon colors.

The problem isn’t what the cereal is made with, it’s that you’re having cereal.
It’s like “organic” vegetables. The problem isn’t that other vegetables aren’t “organic” it’s that people AREN’T EATING enough vegetables in the first place.
Avoid anything golden brown, except nuts, especially if it is fried!!!
Yaaaaaaay! It tastes like cardboard, now.

And Lawn Darts! Don’t forget playing Lawn Darts!
And then there were the 4th of July bottle rocket and Roman Candle fights!

We used a clothes pin to clip playing cards to the bike frame so that the spokes made a cool flapping noise. My parents gave up bridge, so no more cashews. That was OK.
If you saved your money you could buy handlebar grips with colorful plastic strips.
So you could fly down the street flapping and plastic grip strips streaming, impressing the little girl with curly hair by taking your hands off the bars and folding your arms over your chest.
And they were “Twids”: Little people about the size of a football.
“Hey, Coke - try putting sugar in Coke and see your products sell. Better yet, Sugar AND carbonation like it had in the 60s.”
I have a 6-pack of “Coca-Cola Life” right in front of me — made with cane sugar and Stevia in the bottles. Will save it for the weekend.
You must’ve been a City Kid; Grandma just stitched us up at home! ;)
As you noted, not sweetened with just real, cane (or even beet), sugar.
Lol, I remember that joke from 5th grade.
My dogs LOVE sweet potatoes.
The year I planted sweet potato cuttings they ate them all, out of the ground, like heathen savages.
You keep those heathen savages out of my garden! ;)
I made the mistake of eating Cheerios in front of my wife and now there are 4 boxes of it in the pantry. I try to get a different cereal every time I go to the store.
A box of Bran Buds will last me 3 years. We don’t need 3 boxes of them. I have to mix them with sweet cereal to eat them. Cinnamon Life cereal and Bran Buds are pretty good.
I do want to correct myself on the sugared Coke issue. There are, of course, two ways to get Coke with real sugar in the US.
The cheapest way is to buy a yellow cap “Kosher for Passover” bottle in a Jewish neighborhood during Lent. The second way is to go to a high end grocery in a ‘good’ neighborhood, or a low end grocery in an ‘undocumented’ area, and get pay the premium price for a ‘Mexican’ Coke.
