So the other day my daughter asked me if I could buy her some of that cereal that the rabbit is always trying to take from the kids. Definite no-brainer. She obviously meant Trix. How did I know? Because I've been watching and listening to that commercial since I was her age. =X I went out and got it for her and the second she sat in front of that bowl I heard her say, "Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids." I thought it was cute and funny. A little scary, but more or less adorable.
Sooooo, here is what we're to do... Lets not go all serious and talk about the true brainwashing capabilities of propaganda in our media and blah blah blah. This is not a serious thread.
Lets instead just have some light hearted fun and post some of the things that have made it from our generation to the next through silly catch phrases and "good" marketing. Post a video if you can find one. Post something you remember dying to have when you were a kid because the commercial was just that awesome. Post a picture. Or if all else fails just tell a story about something you remember wanting as a child because you saw it advertised somewhere. And did you get it?
Here are a few favorites... With the Trix being the first:

And what I wanted =X I couldn't find the right commercial, but I was dying for a super soaker. =X :
