Unfortunately, since I’d apparently have to travel to a galaxy far, far away to actually find a box of artificially flavored, full-sized Trix these days, my analysis will have to use the Mini Trix I got from General Mills’ Star Wars care package. Now don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing inherently wrong with Mini Trix. But wait! Back when they debuted, Trix only came in orange, lemon, and raspberry flavors! As these artificial color-free Trix adopt a similar color scheme, it can be said that the cereal really has come full circle.Įither way, I’m here to answer the hard-hitting question that you, your family, and probably even the United Nations have been debating: will they taste the same as”regular” Trix? I smell a fruit-scented roadtrip!Īnd now that General Mills has removed artificial colors and flavors from Trix, some are, again, mourning the loss of a childhood staple. Oh, and apparently fruit-shaped Trix are still a thing in Mexico.

It wasn’t until 2007 that Trix became spheres once more, and the fruit-shapes were left to populate every single BuzzFeed “Top 25 Foods from our Childhood that We Want Back NOW! You Won’t BELIEVE #12!” article from now until eternity. But in the 1990s, they became the fruit-shaped pieces that many today insist they always have been. When they debuted in 1955, Trix were in spherical shapes.
