toys in your cereal

ah the memories, opening a new cereal box and the foraging for the toy, ending up with half the cereal on the floor, parents were never too impressed. But I was delighted when I got my hand on it.

Amateurs. Before you open the plastic inside bag, you locate the toy and work it to the top. Open plastic bag and hey presto, you got the toy with no mess.

Also remember saving tokens with weetabix to collect tapes that had probably 2 decent songs and about 10 other crappy ones. Weetabix had 5 (i think) characters that had their own mix tape. Brian and Brains were 2 characters dont remember the rest but one was a girl.

And Bixie was her name......

Who remembers the "monster in your pocket" figures you used to get in cereal? I collected most of them!

same here.
mum worked for kellogs as a cleaner and used to get handed large bags full of the toys [either that or she nicked them,as she used to nick stuff like gigantic toilet rolls and cleaning materials from jobs if she believed she wasnt paid enough:pac:], had loads of the monster ones as well as the original puppy ones;had them all collected and lined up on shelves-still have them today and the nearly two year old niece has a thing for them now when she is over at her grand mas/pas.
one day mum came home with dinner plates and bowls that had the kellogs name and the corn flakes cockrel logo on and said she got them with the cereal,it wasnt until years later had found out she robbed them from the cafeteria.
-they still do those collect tokens for bowls though,earlier this year had collected just a few codes with rice crispies; each code had to be entered on the website along with address and that was it,got a free tough plastic frosties bowl,its good for the niece when she is over because its light and easy for her to carry,but also doesnt smash if she drops it.

mum and dad were tight bstards usualy and never wanted to get the bigger sized versions of cereals which usualy had the toys in,the smaller boxes demanded token collection.

When I was a child I remember opening a box of coco pops and there was no cereal in it at all, only toys! All the little packets of toys were all joined together still in a big long row. I can see it yet as if it was yesterday!
