    haha, had one of them bowls.

    i also vaguely remember some kind of soda-powder powered toys.

    you supposedly put soda-powder in them and then put them in water and they were meant to move. dont remember much success though.



    .... a bit like the 'ghost in a can' from mcdonalds. still disappointed.

    I still have the ship one. It works for about 5 seconds then the baking powder gets damp and clogs up. It'll cross a sink but not the bath. The trick is that the water should be cold.

    i suppose they don't do them anymore because they're seen as a choke hazard??
    I think in some countries its a legal issue, seen as advertising to kids and putting incentives into high sugar food. While it might be legal some might do it to look more responsible.

    Kellogs are giving away playballs in their cereal at the moment. When you open the box it's sitting on top, outside the inner bag of cereal. First thing I've seen them give away in the box in years!

    The United States-ians don't allow Kinder Eggs to be sold in case some kid swallows the thing whole, toy and all.
