I remember those terrariums. They were pretty cool for cereal prizes. I also remember the records on the back of the cereal boxes that you could cut out and play on the record player. They didn’t sound the best, but they were cool.
The records were some of the best. They were right there and ready to go. You kept them in as good a shape as possible...but they always became trash.
I think I might have one of those records. It was a scary story.
Subscribed! Great video! In my curio cabinet, I have the wacky wall walker, the diving Tony the Tiger, and the 80s version of the baking soda frogman, all still in their original wrapping. They were my favorite cereal box prizes.
You are the MAN, that is a great collection. Love that you have the Frogman and the Wacky Walker. Too Cool. Thanks for watching AND Sharing.
The hunt for Chex Quest starts today! The ones i recall was a trix spoon that changed color, tmnt bowl, trading cards, books & those chip n dale stamps
I loved the stamps. Seriously, I needed to get to those stamps before anyone else.
Thanks for covering this. ❤
Hands-down, my favorite cereal prize was the Frosted Flakes ‘Diving Tony,’ do you remember that one? It was basically just a plastic cylinder vaguely shaped like Tony the Tiger. Through some kind of magic, when you put it in a plastic bottle of water and squeezed the bottle, Tony would rocket down to the bottom.
This made such an impression on me that I still occasionally look on eBay that for one, but they’re hard to find in good condition.
Also, regulations invariably destroy more things than they protect us from … especially in regards to the time-cherished moments of our childhood that most of us managed to survive 😆
I love stories of things like this that made an impact. I jsut discuss things that I still have some emotional connection or impression to. yes, I loved the VAGUELY shaped Tony, too.
I been waiting someone to cover this 4 some time. How fun.
Love that you enjoyed it. Please do me a solid, and feel free to share. It was fun to do.
The Cap'n Crunch Soggies and the Sogmaster were some of my absolute favorites. Fellow Gen X kid here, and I just stumbled across your page and immediately subscribed!
You're awesome. Thank you, I do appreciate it and hope you find lots of other fun content. The SOGGIES were huge and a popular one as I recall. Thanks for watching and SUBSCRIBING
Those Cap'n Crunch submarines never worked right! Haha! More often than the in box toys were the mail in for prizes! We got several of those over the years - more often from General Mills because those boxes also had the Betty Crocker seals on them my mom collected! My brother got one of those little wooden elf people and I got a plastic connecting set of blocks you could build a robot from! Funniest family mishap was the time the same brother mentioned asked our older brother to write the letter to GM for a Nerf Football. To be a wise guy he wrote: "Dear Sir, I demand a Nerf Ball...!" My brother got mad about it and so did my mom! I don't think he ever ended up with it, either! Haha!
This is CLASSIC. He should have gotten the ball, for that. Yeah, I don't remember doing any of the mail ins. There were so many in the boxes in the 70s and early 80s. But some of them might have been better.
The advantage of being an only child was never having to fight over the prize in the cereal box.
We were lucky. Even though we were dirt poor, mom let us all (5) pick out our own cereal and the prize belonged to us. We never got much of anything else, but I LOVED that.
I got lots of cool toys in my cereal boxes in the 70's and 80's, but my favorite ever was from a box of Addams Family cereal in college: an Uncle Fester Flashlight. The cereal was an awful rip-off of Cap'n Crunch, but since the premium was on the outside of the box, I just had to have it.
Now that is a pretty cool Cereal Toy. WIN
i got two different press-out records on the back of cereal boxes: Last train to Clarksville by the Monkees and Sugar, Sugar by the Archies
I love the Monkees, and who doesn't sing along to a little Sugar Sugar? That is awesome, those records on the back were so cool.
I had most of those at one point - 40 years ago. LOL
Subscribed!
You are a PRIZE, thank you so much.
The best toys in cereal were the metal bike license plates in Honeycomb, and ALL of the toys you could find in FREAKIES... balloon powered cars, boats, baking soda submarines, magnets... so much fun!
So many, so many good ones. Those license plates were popular.
I still have one in a box somewhere in my attic. I kept it when I got rid of my Huffy BMX bike. Black and gold Pro Thunder.
Kind of wish I’d kept the bike too.
I loved playing outside till the soft amber glow lured me back in
Spoken like a TRUE Romantic-Nostalgic. Me too
I had the glow in the dark pens and the terrariums.
Those terrariums were very popular amongst those that remember them, too. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Ooo I saw banana Frosted Flakes!!!!! Where can I get those at?????
Old. They were limited flavor for awhile, but discontinued years ago. I am glad you might like them, for me....ICK
3:40 Freakies ! That was a childhood favorite, with a twisted little plastic monster in each box. Another was a chess set we cut off of a raisin bran box. I learned how to play chess from that, our first chess set. ( Unfortunately I still play chess like I learned the game from a cereal box )
HA....at least Cereal Taught you something, lol. Freakies looked...well, freakie. I see it was discontinued in 76, perhaps I was just too young...but looking at it...I would have been all over it. I too loved when they had a game, or cut our activity on the box. Thanks for the sharing and for watching.
@@GENXPERIENCE Yeah, there's a first and second half to each generation. I'm an early Gen X ( '66er )so I didn't have childhood in the 80's when the cereals and cartoons became hyper commercialized. I guess it got so bad that the Boomer politicians phased out Saturday morning cartoons altogether in the 90's (those poor millennial kids !)
@@martineldritch You are right. Funny I call the ends of each generation "RISING" LIke GEN X with a Millennial Rising, lol. It is true Generations Span 15 + years, so there are still differences with all the similarities. I was born in 1973, so I am right in the middle. I have a lot of earlier X truths, but lived a lot in that Over Commercialized area. I have to admit....I loved it, lol.
I wanted the submarine more than anything, and I did get it. Mine worked, though it was apparently not true for everyone.
We were probably just bad at it as kids, lol.
I loved my glow in the dark trapeze artist that came from Frankenberry.
Sounds like an awesome one, I would want. Great memory. Those things were just like a surprise to kick off our morning right. Thanks for watching.
The best way to get the prize is pour the ceral into the large mixing bowl .
You were right, I was not that bright back then, lol.
Wacky wall walkers!!!
Like totally the most famous ones
I always liked the Disney figures that would hang on to the cereal bowl.
You just brought back a memory, lol. Thank you for that. Yeah, little guys that would hang on while you wait. Little friends. Great times.
You just had to open the box upside down. I was a smart kid
NO kidding. I think I remember a brother doing that.
The same thing happened to Cracker Jack's prizes.
Exactly. I remember when all we'd start getting were lick on tattoos. I have no idea what are in their now. Probably a joke
@@GENXPERIENCE The tattoos were so much better than the current ''prizes''. The last ten or so boxes I've purchased in the past decade were little pamphlets with factoids or QR codes. Utterly worthless. I'd prefer a temporary tattoo. 😅
I miss the pinball machine used to get in cracker jacks 😢
He man stickers thundercats ones superman 3 games
There are SO many toys/games/activities/prizes that I can't remember. Very hard to find them all online...well, for me it was, lol. It was great to be alive.
@@GENXPERIENCE black cauldron figures had them uk
#DisneyDiva
Two words zip cars.
Oooooh, those were such a great find in cereal. Thanks for the mention.
