Letter to the Editor

Dear Sir: As a member of the rabbit community, I must protest the manner in which my rabbit brothers (and sisters, and several hundred cousins) are slandered in popular culture as miscreants and thieves. If it isn’t Peter Rabbit making us look like vegetable fiends, it’s the Trix rabbit lusting after what quite frankly appear to be Day-Glo mothballs. Trix are for kids, and frankly kids can have them.

Sincerely, Disapproving Rabbit

    A bun with good taste.

    When I was a kid, I did like Trix. But now, Iā€™d choose the real cute, dutchy looking bunneh, over the cereal. Still, silly bunny, Trix are for kids.

    And then there’s that trickster, Bugs Bunny. Bunnies’ disapproval is well justified. šŸ°šŸ‡

    For the record, I’ve never tasted Trix cereal. My fear is that I’ll like it too much, given my love of all things marshmallow, and that would be my ultimate downfall. šŸ˜€

      I don’t think Trix has marshmallows. You may be thinking of Lucky Charms, which does for leprechauns what Trix does for rabbits.

        Oops, I stand corrected. I’ve never had Lucky Charms either. šŸ˜Š

          I liked Trix when I was a kid. I like Lucky Charms but I don’t buy them. They have them in the cafeteria at work sometimes so I get an occasional fix that way. They might have Trix sometimes? I know they have Cocoa Puffs but they aren’t as good as I remember from when I was a kid.

      I was always a Fruit Loops kinda gal myself, but day-glo mothballs? that’s a game changer…

    I’m with the bun on this, I’ve had Trix on occasion and the kids can definitely keep them. To me, he looks more disappointed than disapproving, like “really, you’ve lowered yourself to … THIS??? Have some dignity brother.”

      I concur on all counts.

      Gorgeous bunbun!

    I can almost hear the rabbit’s disapproval from the photo. Poor thing. *scratches between the ears*

    Day-Glo mothballs! Eee-zackelly right.

    Eyebrows floating in mid-air. That’s how you know its a cartoon. As opposed to real life. We knew where that line was back when we were kids right? šŸ˜

    I’m with you Mr. Bun – I’ve wondered that very thing about those mysterious eyebrows.

    I understand your sentiments on the Trix. Nevere had them myself, and really aren’t made for me.
    They make stuff like this for me instead (e.g., adult cocoa krispies: https://onedegreeorganics.com/products/sprouted-brown-rice-cacao-crisps/).
    But hey, every once in a while, an occasional bowl of Fruity Pebbles really hits the spot.

    I keep wondering how soft that forehead is, really need to kiss it to find out
