Animal Division: Round 1 Match 1



Voracious Sugar Bunny Battle!
Two manic rabbits compete for your favour.
Trix Rabbit: Victim of forbidden fruit fixation. Responsible for one of the most prevalent Pop Culture reference phrases in history, "Silly Rabbit, Trix are for kids." Yes, Trix are for kids. Kids who don't have any personal attachment to their teeth.
Nestle Quik Bunny: Victim of chocolate overindulgence. Anyone who can drink an entire swimming pool full of chocolate milk is not to be trifled with. Also available in strawberry and banana. Disturbing to think of some kid asking for a cup of "hot banana", but whatever floats your boat.

Comments:
My vote is for the Nestle Quik Bunny.
 
The demented rabbit has got to have the upper hand here. Question is...who is more demented?

While the Nesquick Bunny has youth on his side the Trix Rabbit I think has definite issues and would be the first to slip the bunny a mickey or clock him with the handle on his glock.

I give this one to Trix, the Trickster Rabbit (father to a couple hundred thousand bunnies...hence I guess "voracious").
 
I think you have really reached a high level of status in the icon world, when your "catch phrase' is a punchline - Silly Rabbi, kicks are for trids. So here's one for the Trix Rabbit!
 
Trix is for kids - what does the other one say? I can't even remember -he loses!

My vote is for Trix.... chocolate milk is just plain gross.
 
Thanks for visiting "The Emergency Blanket Unofficial", the web page for the peruvian Rock & Roll band THE EMERGENCY BLANKET...

Our vote is for the Trix rabbit, (silly quick bunny), Trix is for kids!

Trix rabbit is more demented, wackier, and his catchphrase is catchier. He gets my vote
 
I have got to give my vote to the Nestle Quick bunny. Quick over Ice Cream beats coloured marshmellows anyday.
 
Nestle's questionable business practice in developing nations targetting infants with baby formula is well documented. Not that General Mills is likely any better. Perhaps social justice isn't the best barometer...

What about social innuendo? Turning Trix gets the nod over Quik like a bunny.

Regardless, I'm voting with Gollum: They're Trix-ie, those hobbits...

Although if someone can confirm Trix is marshmellows, then I may have to change my vote.
 
sorry Kenji, what then, is your vote?
Are they "Trixie" in a good way, or "Trixie" in a bad way?
Are marshmallows good or are marshmallows bad?
And would Trix be part of a continental breakfast?
 
That's what I get for trying to be clever. Vote is for Trix.
 
It really comes down to this question: which bunny actually gets what he wants? The Trix bunny is constantly and always rebuffed by little kids (what a p ansy!!), while the Nestle Quick bunny simply marches in and grabs what he wants. Sure, they're both whacked out, but at least we know what Quick is whacked out on (chocolate, which comes from cocoa, which, um, er, cocaine is made from too, right?), and we're really not sure what Trix has been snorting or ingesting.

Even though Mick sang that you can't always get what you want, kudos to Quick for being the exception to that rule.
 
hmmmm... this is a close contest... I have to go with Trix . vicbear is correct: I could be 92 and sipping my dinner through a straw and I'll still know why the rabbit is silly
 
O-bear picks Quik

To once again paraphrase Pulp Fiction, allow me to retort!

Wikipedia reports that Trix is not composed of marshmallows, but:

...consists of fruit-flavored, sweetened, ground-corn pieces. These were originally round cereal pieces, but were later changed to puffed fruit-shaped pieces.

Furthermore, regarding the bunny never getting the object of his desire:

In the late 1980s, one of Trix's television ads ended in a cliffhanger accompanied by a write-in survey asking children whether or not the Trix Rabbit should be able to finally get a taste of Trix. America's children responded "yes" to the survey, and a following television ad depicted the rabbit finally getting to eat a bowl of Trix cereal unmolested.

So... have I flipped all the marshmallow haters and result oriented people?
 
Trix.

WAY more of an icon than the Nestle Quik bunny (even though he's cuter).

Both bad spellers.

Trix still wins.
 
nestle quick bunny...
 
Silly Bunny, the Trix Rabbit is by far cooler.
