Trix (cereal) facts for kids

Trix is a fun and colorful breakfast cereal. It is made by a company called General Mills in North America. In other parts of the world, it's made by Cereal Partners. Trix cereal pieces are puffed and have a yummy vanilla flavor.

When Trix cereal first came out, the pieces were round and very bright. In 1991, they changed to puffed shapes that looked like fruit. But then, in 2006, they went back to their original round shape in the United States and some other countries. Today, the famous saying for Trix is: "Trix is not for rabbits!"

Discovering Trix Flavors

When Trix cereal was first created in 1955, it had three main flavors. These were "Orangey Orange," "Raspberry Red," and "Lemony Yellow." Over time, more exciting flavors were added.
