silly rabit, Trix are for kids!

About a month ago, I remember being in the supermarket browsing the cereal selection. I decided to feel like a kid again, and bought my old-childhood favorite, Trix. But I was completely disappointed when I got home, poured myself a bowl, and realized that the individual pieces were no longer shaped like the fruit the tasted of. Instead, they were just round, like all the other cereals in the world. They were no longer unique. And I was sad.

America has gotten so lazy, even the simplest things are no longer being done. The reason I loved Trix was not because of their super-great commercial, but because I enjoyed the different shape of the cereals. I'm pretty sure I used to even eat them one shape at a time. Knowing me, I probably refused to eat the grape shapes, until all the pretty blue "flowers" were gone!

Well, yesterday I went to an Israeli supermarket. Now, this wasn't a huge "Publix" type store, but more of a neighborhood market type. And out of the 10 or so cereals that they had, one was Trix. To my greatest surprise ever, it was the original cereal, shapes and all! I was so happy! And that is when it hit me, Israel is full of enjoying the simple things in life!

First, they don't have a blackberry or IPhone to buy here (those who want them have to get them from the staes). Most phones here still have 3 letters per number, and barely any has the internet, let alone e-mail! The phone I have is the same phone I had back in high-school. And I love it! (mostly because it has Snake, which if anyone remembers was the most amazing phone game ever!)

Also, the shampoo here is amazing. You guys know me, I have hair that if not taken care of properly, turns HUGE and FRIZZY. But now here. For the past week I haven't even used conditioner. I HAVE NEVER ONLY USED SHAMPOO! Yet, my hair is the best it has ever been! (which makes me think there is a huge market in America for Israeli shampoo, who's with me?)

So far, the only bad thing I have noticed about Israel is that Twilight:New Moon will not be coming out till December 10th. And i'll live with that (as long as someone promise to send me a bootleg version off their cell phone!)
