She scares me.

Overly happy Mother and Zombie kid - both of them sort of scare me. It's the mind controlling cereal that's the root to everything - sort of like a breakfast cereal version of 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' or something.

Are you sure this is the 40s? It looks more like the 50s or 60 s to me.

It's pre-1959 (pre-rabbit) but the full color photo makes me think 1950s too, not 1940s. Similar ads are 1956/1957, like this one:

"Pre-rabbit" I can't believe that's a thing. XD Trix+Rabbit=OTP

Well also it can't be from the 40s because Trix was invented in the mid 50s

When I checked out this ad, that's what the site told me.

You got in one. She's obviously well drugged on cereal.

The kid's 'what the fuck is my life' face...

And at such an early age, too.

cheer up girlie, mom's giving you a bowl full of sugar

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

But remember sugar is good for you and will help you lose weight.

Thank you mother-unit for the bowl of nutritive substance. It is acceptable to this daughter-unit's flavor sensors.

She does look like something out of a Ray Bradbury story, doesn't she?

I thought 'It's a Small Wonder' was from the 80's.

She looks like she misses that Rabbit.

I always felt so bad for the Rabbit. He deserved Trix, too.

BTW, like the icon!

When a woman's five, she needs love -and a little applied psychology

You don't have to be grown-up to think breakfast is a pretty ghastly meal some mornings. Even five-year-old young ladies need a bowlful of fruit color, fruit-flavor Trix to change their morning outlook from grim to gay. When you're five (give or take a few years either way), you kind of fall in love with Trix and the way its bright fruit colors wink up at you through the milk. You become quite attached to the way that sparkly fruit-flavor keeps demanding another spoonful, until pretty soon you're down to the bottom of the bowl. That's why Trix were born. To make good grain nourishment more fun.

Mom Note: How do you know what Trix can do, till you pour some?

And we won't even mention the sugar, preservative and artificial flavors in each bowlful.

Thanks for cleaning up that text, but I have to admit, it wouldn't make me eat a bowlful as an adult.
