Today's retro box of cereal is Trix! As you can see, the retro box which came out with the cereal in 1967 has the same Rabbit mascot used today, but with simpler animation. The General Mills logo has of course been updated since then, and the Trix logo now has a yellow and different shade of green.
When Trix was introduced in 1967, popular toys and fads included the Spiro-Graph and Etch-a-Sketch. Lego also became the first company to launch pocket money packs.
Bringing back another fun fad, the retro box of Trix features a "crazy hang-up" door hanger to cut out and keep. Your child (or you ;-) can write a silly name or saying on the cardboard hanger and hang it on the doorknob to keep intruders out of the room!

My hang up is when zip lock bags are no shut all the way. My hubby drives me crazy when he uses lunchmeat or cheese and doesn't zip up the bags all the way.

Ummmm.... I confess that I hate it when my boys don't shut the door after them, when stupid people drive, when I feel like I'm the family slave ..... Ok, I'd better stop. :)

My crazy hang-up is when people hang out without leaving a voicemail message. How am I supposed to know why they called (especially if it's a number I don't know!)?!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

Taking it literally as a sign I can hang up, I have a sign that says "Ashley's Parking Only - All others will be towed" and to be annoying, I put it on the couch. lol.

One of my favorite sayings was a "hang up" my mom put on my bedroom door, when I was a kid. It said, "I believe in miracles, but I still have to study." :P

ReplyDeleteI hate to admit it, but it works. I usually don't have to hang up, because they usually hang up on me before I get the chance. When solicitors call, I tell them unless they are calling to talk about sex or alcohol, I am not interested. Works 99% of the time!!

Hang up? Probably people who make up their own rules while driving... ;)

ReplyDeleteMy biggest hangup is when I'm in a hurry to get somewhere and I find that my teenage daughter left the car with the gas gauge on empty!

Oh Gosh, I have so many Crazy Hang-ups! To put a Retro spin on the Crazy Hang-Up phrase I remember all the crazy calls that I would make as a early teen. I remember crazily calling a crush on the telephone and then quickly hanging up as soon as I heard his voice! I have to confess that I did that more than once!
ReplyDeleteIf I had a sign to hang on my door it would probably say, " Keep Out- Nervous Breakdown in Progress ", or something along those lines!

I never did the door-hang-up thing. I've got plenty of hang-ups but don't think i'll discuss them here :)
ReplyDeletehmmm... putting the water pitcher back in the fridge that has just a drop left in it is tops on my hang up list!
