What was your favorite breakfast cereal growing up, fave "prize" inside, and did you ever save boxtops?

Question

I've asked for your favorite Sat morning tv shows, candy&candy bars,theater in your neighborhood,sodapop,and your Mom's laundry detergent. So this 3 parter is for breakfast cereal. And, what did you send away for with your boxtops? Your "prize" cereal doesn't have to match your fave cereal for taste. I guess Cheerios was my fave to eat. My favorite "prizes" were the submarine and frogman which you filled with baking soda, and put them in the sink or bathtub. They would sink and rise to the surface as the soda dissolved. I (actually my Mom), sent away for a Superman tee shirt with boxtops when I was five. Wore it 24/7 for 3 weeks before I would let her wash it. Okay, your turn. The Nostalgia train is about to leave the station. All aboard........

Answer 1

Coco pebbles! Coco-licious!!! Barney was always stealing Fred's coco pebbles! Once a year or so I'll still buy a box and share with my kids, but they aren't as big of fans as I was.

I also loved the subs!

We didn't save the box tops, but we did save kool-aid points and I got a cup and a Frisbee.

Answer 2

certainly I had a heck of a time remembering. So this heavily isn't an entire answer. Captain Crunch grew to become into my fav cereal. i think of he had a advertisement according to threat that helped that. yet cracker jacks grew to become into the biggest subject (ok it does no longer count quantity as cereal) yet you will possibly desire to eat quickly and get a solid prizes. I under no circumstances amassed container tops and not in any respect despatched off prizes. I needless to say have not got that style of sufferers!

Answer 3

I loved Fruit Loops and Apple Jacks. The best prize I ever got was a plastic car that would spinout and crash. I played with that thing for hours. I did try and collect proof of purchases, but never made it far enough to get anything. I usually just forgot.
