This morning, I ate a bowl of Kix. And then I ate another one. And then another little half bowl after that. Earlier I had stopped at the grocery store specifically to buy a box of Kix, and when the man on the other side of the glass doors told me they weren’t open yet, I sat down on the spot and waited the remaining fifteen minutes. I had to have my Kix.
With apologies to Paul Revere & the Raiders
General Mills' Kix, billed as the first ready-to-eat, puffed-corn cereal, was introduced in 1937, four years before Cheerios. The latter brand quickly became king of the cereal aisle.
Trix, artificially colored Kix, made its appearance in 1954.
Kix is also the first cereal to be made with the puffing gun.
