      PataponCreeper And unlike a certain bear, Sam didn’t need an outside source to illustrate the resolution. There’s a series of commercials about the “Alien Fruit Monster” who has an aggressive appetite for Froot Loops; it took four commercials to complete the story. That mirror thing you mentioned was from when the Queen from Alice in Wonderland stole the Froot Loops, and Toucan Sam has to get it back, while picking the special fruit by vote. There are different fruit ideas in different countries, and from what I know, the choice gave a cosmetic outcome for both the Cereal and the Queen’s appearance; and what we chose in the US was the Cherry-Cherry.
      But of course, the most notable of all is the Blackbeak saga; finding fruity treasures in various Islands and confronted Blackbeak himself, which, BTW, When I saw Blackbeak confronting Toucan Sam, I can’t help but think of Grandpappy Plok from the Plok SNES game and Online Comic, where Plok has a Grandfather who stays monochrome. There was one thing that threw me off during that saga, though, and I’m not sure if anyone got all the commercials in the saga, especially in chronological order; but there was a glow-worm character who upon defeat swore he’ll get the Froot Loops yet... sadly, I never saw him again.

    Tony doesn't really appear in many commercials anymore. The new ones focus more on the kids, and tie it back to Tony with phrases like "show your strips" and "we are tigers, mighty mighty tigers".
    Poor Sunny is still fighting his addiction. He has been actively seeking help for his addictions, but those dang haluninations keep getting worse and worse. It's hard not to give in to temptation when the rubber room you're locked in turns into chocolate right before your very eyes. Perhaps this is why everyone refuses to let the rabbit try trix.

  • @TheDarknessin2light

    Funny for the Trix Rabbit considering there was a contest determining whether he actually gets some and the majority voted that he should get it but the company still screwed him over basically giving the fans the finger for their generosity.

      WillStrop2008 Actually the majority vote said yes. This isn't an election so there is no Electoral votes. So there is no reason to act like a child. Here is Something else: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trix_%28cereal%29 (actually go and do some research before making an ass of yourself).

      +Shadow Max I think you misunderstood his comment dramatically (unless he changed his comment and I didn't see the original". First, he wasn't making an ass of himself; he was making a joke. The Electoral College in thia joke is represented by the company itself.
      Second, he said that "majority vote was yes" which, in case you didn't know means the exact same thing as "most people voted yes"
      Third, why are you being so hostile to him? Did he change his comment from before or something, because it looks fine to me.

    • @dooplon5083
      @dooplon5083 Před 8 lety +10

      Shadow Max Except there's nothing to indicate it was a troll comment. Yes, I know what burn means; but I have no clue why it was used there since his comment is actually _agreeing_ with you! If he was indeed trying to troll then then he's the suckiest troll I've ever seen (what kind of troll would agree with their target). Also, why would you accuse a possible troll of being ignorant when the whole point of a troll is to say stupid shit to piss people off? Chances are, this guy already knows all the stuff you mentioned anyway!

    Sugar Bear. That takes me way back to the days when sugar was a selling point of cereal, when we didn't know how bad it truly was for you. Then came DIABEETUS. Then more cereals dropped that dreaded S-word out of their names. Super Sugar Crisp became Super Golden Crisp. Sugar Smacks (basically Kellogg's version of SGC) became Honey Smacks. Most cereals still have lots of sugar; they're just not proud of it.

    I'm surprised that when you brought up Paul Frees, you didn't mention him being a voice on the Haunted Mansion ride as well- the ghost host. Speaking of which, I'm pretty sure Peter Lorre did in fact audition for that role. (I don't remember where, but I do recall hearing him do the ride's opening narration.) So if the role hadn't gone to Paul, then you could say that Peter did in fact play a ghost.
    Also, there was actually a time when the Trix rabbit got to eat some Trix. It was when he entered a bike race; in which the prize was a big bowl of Trix. But the judges argued whether or not he should win the prize, until they eventually decided to let the kids vote on it. And the majority of them voted yes, so he got it.

      you can check how they look like via Google, by writing Chocapic.
      But they really are the best chocolate cereals we have, for many reasons. They don't change the milk (they don't give it an awkward taste) they don't float on the surface like other ones (making it harder to have a full bowl of it) etc etc...

      He did. In 1976 (and again in 1980), during the election year, they let kids vote on whether or not to let the Rabbit have the Trix. The first time in 1976 was a unanimous yes, and the second time in 1980 was 99% yes and 1% no. Then, as another commenter mentioned, there was a Trix commercial in 1991 where the rabbit enters a bike race to win a bowl of Trix. The ending was "too close to call", so they let the kids decide whether or not he won the race and got the Trix. And the decision was that he won and he got the Trix.

    I remember the Froot Loops commercial with the surfing lion! I also somehow remember the Cookie Crisp Dog and Wendell. I was born in 1987, so either these were out when I was a kid or my memory is faulty.
    One of the most memorable Trix commercials for me was one in which the rabbit was dreaming and went to a magical place called Trix Land with a bunch of rabbits eating Trix. One of the rabbits offered him a bowl, and then the commercial went, "Will the rabbit REALLY get to eat a bowl of Trix?" or something like that and ended on a cliffhanger. I remember wishing that it was real for the poor rabbit and that he would finally get to eat some.

    Actually, there were a couple of commercials where the rabbit did get to eat some Trix. One early one showed him eating one spoonful, then after his disguise fails the kids say Trix are for kids, and he responds with "And sometimes for tricky rabbits!" In another one, he wins a race, and the kids got to vote whether he would get the Trix (which were the grand prize, because of course they were). Of course, the kids voted yes, but the judges say "Just this once".
