Not one to give out advice willy-nilly, I find myself yearning and busting at the seams to speak my mind. I hate you humans in the Trix commercials! Be nice! Share. You make me sad to be the same race as you. There are more than enough Trix cereal nuggets for everyone. Don’t you think the Rabbit has paid his dues? Perhaps it’s his turn to eat the cereal that will rot his teeth. Can’t you think about someone else for a change? Eat a banana.
And, Rabbit. Dagnabit, be a man and take the Trix if you want them. Assert yourself. Stand up and be strong. Acknowledge your self-worth. Demand what is yours and take your share of cereal. I think you will find that you, and they, will be glad you created boundaries that are healthy for you. No more passive-aggressive behavior where you dress up as a woman and tuck your ears down to try and trick them into letting you eat. Be the best most real bunny you can be. Alternately, you could also learn to love bananas.
It’s what we call a win-win.
Finally! It’s about time someone made a public statement about this! Thank you! *HUG* 😉
Remember the episode of Fresh Prince, where Carlton was on the verge of tears talking about how ‘They just kept taunting him. Yellng at him and teasing him. It was so hurtful’, and you think he’s talking about a racist experience? Then he goes, ‘I can still hear them…Silly Rabbit! Trix are for kids!’
I’m 47 and that commercial, (for the reasons you so elegantly state) still makes me cringe.
I’ve actually used it as a “teaching moment of good and bad” when my son was small.
Maybe that is why we have had 8 house rabbits over the last 11 years and only one child!
