** Most notably, a commercial depicted the rabbit participating in a bicycle race with a bowl of Trix as the prize. He managed to win by using his floppy ears as wind sails to gain more speed. The cartoon judges of the race then are split. One judge says the Trix rabbit won, so he should get the cereal because it's only fair. The other judge says "Trix are for kids," supersedes all other considerations and he should be denied the Trix. A vote was held among where kids (supposedly) as to whether could send in a cereal boxtop with "yes, give the rabbit should be given the Trix. He won, Trix" or "no, don't give the rabbit the Trix" as their choice for how the dilemma would be resolved in a future commercial (supposedly). The eventual follow up commercial didn't include actual numbers for each vote, but it was reported the "yes" vote won. The rabbit got the Trix, but it was specified that it was only for one time.
