Those of us of a certain age probably remember when cereal boxes had toys in them. They weren't all cereal boxes just certain ones. Kids used to beg their parents for certain cereals because they had to have the toy that was inside. Usually they were the not so good for you brands, but not always. Most of the toys were pretty bad, kind of like what they have in cracker jack boxes, but sometimes they would advertiser getting like a certain decoder ring or something like that..that was a bit more enticing. I remember getting some sort of small tablet that would make writing disappear once, also a small book. Kids cereal boxes used to be fun to read. It was a usual thing to have your cereal and read the box at the same time usually advertising some kind of toy..or maybe what you should have as a healthy breakfast..wouldn't fly today, it was full of carbs. Anyway, something from days gone by. Do you remember any toy you got from a cereal box? I think they stopped putting toys in many years ago.
