- I've often wondered what happened to the discontinued cereal toys that landed in our bowls as kids, so I decided to find out.
Thanks to breakfast memorabilia expert Nick Symes for his knowledge, and access to his vast archive of old cereal adverts. You can check out his impressive collection at: CerealOffers.com, or on his TH-cam channel:

Great video! Loved the title shot at 4:18. I've always wondered this myself - my favourites were always those temperature-dependent colour-changing spoons!
Thanks, Chris! I spent a while keying the text into the paper frame by frame and then realised it went too fast to have much of an impact so I appreciate you noticing it, haha. And I remember those spoons as well! There were a few in the batch I bought but I'm not sure if they still work - they're a bit dusty and I wasn't too keen on putting them in any of my dishes...
big fan
this is exactly the kind of wholesome content I need in my life
Thanks, Rebekah!
‘And in the end, he learned, that the real prizes were not the cheap plastic toys at the bottom of the box, but the sense of wonder, excitement and pride that accompanied collecting each one.’
Another great film, m8. Creatively told and full of inventive effects. Top stuff.
You're definitely hired to narrate the Hollywood adaptation of this video
"It's one of those telescopes that make you see less far and worse." :p
Wonderful video. My brother once got a red kiwi bird that was a 'prize' as part of a laundry detergent promotion. It became a well-loved toy that went on many adventures. My grandmother gave me a toy duck that had once been part of a jewellery promotion (basically, buy a necklace of your choice, and the little velvet bag it comes with is tied to the duck's neck). I still have that duck. I named it Macaroni and he's currently sitting on my bed.
Thanks, Sanna! And that's such a lovely story. It's funny how random bits of plastic become such memorable pieces of growing up. Give my regards to Macaroni!
S. Gabriel this is a great video. God knows why cereal box toys popped into my head for no real reason, other than I was thinking about my step daughter when she was about 8 and misled her into believing there was gonna be a toy in the cereal box based on a picture on the back. I had to buy a toy to compensate. I always thought it was extremely cool to not know 'when' the toy would pour out of the cereal box. If anyone can remember those flying saucer Alien toy things, you collected the heads to put in the saucer disk, can't remember whatv cereal box that came from?? Or those Kellogs monster truck things you had to 'send off' for with the coupons. Ahhh the good old days
The shot with the telescope and the shot with the top spinning were just masterclass shots to a novice with a camera like me. Well done
Thanks for answering my question Andrew. Great video.
Thanks for watching!
Such a great random story, made by you’re artistic self. Kept me engaged throughout. Thank you for this piece.
Thanks, Jake! Hope you and the family are doing well!
Thank you Andrew! A lot of hard work went into this, and it's appreciated!
Thanks, Rob! I appreciate the appreciation!
Brings back so many memories! It's great to see your channel growing! Honoured to have got the opportunity to see you and your channel grow!
Thanks so much!
I was born in 1998 so I just barley remember cereal box toys and you're really jogging some deep memories with some of these 😂😂💕
He’s back! and the video style this time is awsome
Thanks for watching!
Haha awesome! I love that the person who got the toy in their bowl got to keep it. I always dug through to find it!! 🤣🤣
Yeah we had to have rules around that kind of behaviour to keep those all important breakfast times in order, haha
Man highly underrated content right here! Started eating cereal for the first time since I was a kid, and I was wondering why I never saw any toys anymore. Adult me really wanted to experience it again. Tragic really.
Thanks Steven! Cereal definitely isn't what it used to be
This channel is destined for growth, I can feel it in my bones.
I've got a good feeling about your bones
Adding this to the list of sentences that are reassuring from a medical professional but deeply disturbing from anyone else.
Brilliant video!! Very well made and fun!
Thanks Eloise! Really appreciate it
Brilliant video, really enjoyed it!
Thanks, Alex! Really appreciate it
As usual, this was wonderful andrew! Cereal toys were a thing before my time, but this really made me understand just what they were all about and what they meant to you. While they don’t come in cereal anymore, i feel these sort of toys are now the kind of things you find in a McDonalds kids meal. So maybe it lives on, just in a different form?
Cheers,
Liz
Thanks, Liz! Did you know about cereal toys beforehand, since they were before your time? I sometimes forget my own age and that this may not be common knowledge. You're right though, McDonalds must still do toys, although I think even they have gotten less exciting over time. Or maybe I'm just remembering the excitement of the toys when I was much younger
@@AndrewMadeAFilm I did know about them, only through other youtubers videos and my own parent’s memories sadly, never touched one myself.
I think I might have to agree with your point of the magic from being a kid having worn off, too. I remember those Fast-Food toys being great fun, but now seeing my younger sister enjoy toys with the same caliber of entertainment as before, I think it’s the childhood perspective that really made these toys magic.

So wholesome to watch :) Nearly spit out my dinner with the 'twerking King Kong'. I don't remember getting toys from cereals here, but we had flippos in bags of chips. Oof, how I must have messed up my child-arteries eating chips to find that beautiful junk!
I remember flippos! Although we called them Tazzos and got them from bags of crisps. We had loads of those growing up - they were a big deal back in the day.
Great video, I loved it
Thanks a lot! Really appreciate it
Man i thought this video is from like big stories or other big channel. Is well made thought👍🏽👍🏽
That was a pretty nice video. Very well produced. It's a shame that it doesn't have enough views
Thank you!
Why are you so under-rated?
You mwke great videos
Thanks Rafiq! Really appreciate it
@@AndrewMadeAFilm no problem
Nice video! I remember getting those plastic spoons that Chris mentioned as late as circa 2014(?)
That's way later than I thought!
Love your Videos :)
Thanks Raj! Really appreciate it :)
@@AndrewMadeAFilm :>
Welcome back! Great video! How much did they all set you back? Lol
Thanks, Jim! I think I ended up spending £15, and I can't decide if that's a bargain or far too much, haha
thank you for coming back androo
Thanks for having me!
Power Ranger toys from the first movie in Frosties were the highlight
I collected those!
I'd completely forgotten about those! I vaguely remember having one or two of those
Most underrated legend🔥
Thanks for watching!
You only have a coffee for breakfast. Get yourself a slice of toast man! 😄
Yeah, it's not the most nutritional start to the day, haha
I was big on collecting those prizes out of the cereal boxes throughout the 1980s and '90s, like seriously I was.
I had always thought those prizes were out of this world but then all the sudden they stopped them. The younger generation of today is missing out on so much stuff we had throughout the 1980s and '90s.
I'm proud to be a 1980s kid we had it all back then.
I think there was definitely an appreciation for the simpler stuff back then, although that might just be my own nostalgia talking

Thanks, Shashwat! I appreciate the tactical work
When I was a kid I always keep my eye on any cereal box with toys in it
Where they had appeared on TV or on the newspaper article
They were exciting times
I loved them
I always thought cereal toys were just something they put in cartoons to make parents but more cereal. Knowing they were real all along, but I never got one because companies were being stingy, I feel so cheated.
At least now you know where to buy some if you want to reminisce!
I remember since childhood 90’s and 2000’s when been stopping anymore products from 2010’s unit now no longer
Want that yellow top here brother..!!
Wuld you take an Ladmo Bag for it..??
xD
Do you mean the spinning top at the end? Send me an email (AndrewMadeAFilm@gmail.com) and I’ll see if I can send it your way
I'm waitin for next one...
Will hopefully find some time to upload another soon!
@@AndrewMadeAFilm you see something similar ??
I love the cereal packet at the end
Well spotted!
It looks so vintage so I love it
ur underrated
Thank you! Really appreciate it
🤩🤩🤩🤩
I had the hole King Kong battle rollers set I would have kept hope I find never have yet
“Little kids buy cereal the same way grown men buy lingerie; they will buy things they care nothing about just to get the prize that’s inside.”

It was until like 2015 I think
How do you have so few subscribers and views?
That's probably a question for the people who do (or don't) subscribe/view! But I imagine only uploading once a year doesn't help, haha
@@AndrewMadeAFilm Well thanks for uploading either way :) your content is great and really fun to watch!
