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.

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"?!
