I think I remember him obtaining a bowl once. In one of the commercials he entered a bicycle race or something and the wind blew his ears open like a sail, resulting in him winning the race. If I remember correctly, he <i>did</i> win a bowl/box of Trix.
Yeah, he has gotten the Trix like a million times. Then he flips out about it and loses his disguise and the kids are like, "Oh fuck no, this sheeyit is for kids... bitch." It's a lot like that.
As long as we're on cereals again, why does Lucky always let the kids catch him? He's a leprechaun- he could kill them all, and probably turn them into marshmellows. Also, I choose to believe it is indeed tropical punch sloshing around inside his great headbody, and that he has a giant sink somewhere where his giant masters refill him every night.
Leprechauns can't really kill anybody. That stupid series of movies really did them an injustice as a people.
When you catch a leprechaun, you get to either take his pot of gold, or ask for three wishes. If you ask for four, you loose all the wishes.
It's all very traditional and civilized, although not without it's underhanded trickery. Most people don't end up dead. Although sometimes they end up cursed or trapped in a faerie dimension or whatever.
I suspect that they might give some leeway to gays, though. What with the fairy and rainbow connotations and all.

I think they can kill you if you steal their gold without catching them...
I'm not sure if that's possible, seeing as how their gold is kept in a magical parallel dimension existing within the very photons generated by a rainbow.

They always keep some of their gold in the pockets, legend says that if their lose all the gold they become giants and explode.
He got the Trix but right after that they changed them from the old puffball-shape to the new "fruity" shapes they have now, so since changing the shape obviously means they taste different he's still trying to get his hands on them. If only he could settle for a non-brand knockoff.
On a sort-of related note, I'd like to see a full-length cartoon animated in the same style as the Lucky Charms and Trix ads. They must spend more money producing those 30 second blurbs then most of your average saturday morning cartoons, so obviously this will never happen.

I noticed that too, and it always pisses me off. It's especially glaring when one of the older (anything pre-Dexters Lab) Hannah Barberah cartoons comes on and is followed by a really expensively animated commericial . . .

Then what you want to see is the three Roger Rabbit shorts... "Tummy Trouble," "Roller Coaster Rabbit" and uh... the one in the woods. They're on the most recent DVD release of the Roger Rabbit movie. Completely animated in ones... it's a beautiful thing.
