20 ??? But why?

21 60's Around the 60's there was an advertisment in the United States in which

22 a cartoon rabbit tries to get that certain cereals, called "Trix".

This commercial and thereby the saying, too, were pretty popular so it has become a proverb to many people. It was also used in movies

27 like Kill Bill or it was refered to

28 in Family Guy. It is also mentioned in

29 the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, where Carlton feels sorry for the rabbit since he was treated so bad by the children.
