Trix! Old School!

Who remembers Trix before they made them into the elaborate
fruit shapes? They were spheres! It was great! I really
miss those days. The old trix were far superior to the
current ones. I'm being honest here.

popped into my head. i could really go for some trix right

Yes! I was thinking this very thing the other day in the
supermarket. I was gonna get some if they had gone back to
the old shape. What marketing moron thought this stunt up?!
They were crunchier and tastier, like Kix except fruity and
sugary. It's probably cheaper to make them like they do now
or something. Reminds me of the whole "New Coke" conspiracy
back in the 80's. Remember when they switched the formula
and everyone hated it so they supposedly switched back to
"Classic Coke"? Well they never returned the formula back
to what it was. They whole thing was a sleazy scheme to
start using corn syrup and fructose (cheap syrupy
alternatives to sugar) instead of real sugar. Check the
ingredients of coke and you'll see, they don't use sugar
anymore. I don't think any soft drinks do anymore, but Coke
knew it would degrade the taste so they thought up the "New
Coke" thing so all the stuff with real sugar would have time
to get off the market so people wouldn't realize the vast
change in taste between the two sweeteners when they
supposedly switched back. Wonder if they did the same thing
back in the 20's when they took the Cocaine out.

I still recreate that "classic" taste by dissolving crack
cocaine int o my coca-cola.

I remeber reading an article about obesity that gave the
increase in volume of coca-cola cups over the years as an
example. The original paper cups were about a 1/20th of the
size of the huge buckets you get nowadays. That's because it
used to have cocaine in it. Can you imagine some 7 year old
after drinking a litre of "cocaine-cola"?!
