used to be nearly every cereal had little pencil toppers or rings or some little prize that we kids always dug for and fought over - why did they stop doing that, it was fun, eh.

I like to call them the two creation stories of Genesis the first story which begins Genesis 1 and ends Genesis 2:3 the second story begins with Genesis 2:4 and continues onward. At the end of Genesis 1:27 it states that God created both man and woman which gave rise to the belief that man and woman were created at the same time in the same way in which the man was Adam and as the story goes the woman was Lilith. But of course you have to realize that the Lilith story is just that a story in fact the Hebrews didn't even give her a name the name originated latter on but the Lilith story is folklore. The Lilith story began during the Babylonian exile of the Jews but it would evolve during the Middle Ages in Europe.

If you were around in the '60s, you could get some really good prizes in cereal or Cracker Jacks. It's a shame they don't do that anymore!
ETA: Nobody choked on the prizes! For at least the past 30 years they put the prize in a separate package so it wouldn't get mixed up with the cereal or snack.

I reckon there were innumerable complaints from parents to Kellogs and other well known cereal companies because us kids back then (in my case the eighties) would just rip open the cereal box to get the new toy or whatever or yell to get the 750g box as that had more special tokens to send away for the little novelty thing (and of course you would have to pay $/£1.50 for p&p.

Probably because moms got tired of kids asking for a certain kind for the toy inside and then didnt eat the cereal. or all the whining in the stores to get it in the first place.

What are you all talking about--there are still little prizes in cereal.
I just bought 2 boxes that had little XBox games in them. Not to long ago, there was a little Bee spoon in some boxes, others had pencile toppers that were really cool.

Once upon a time there were many goodies in cereal boxes. Then a kid named Jimmy was eating cereal and swallowed a mood ring. He died and at his funeral his parents killed the people who made the goodies. Without anybody to make the goodies they were not made. ~FIN~

Stop and think. The do-gooders got it stopped because they were small items-choking hazards. Same fiasco about toys recalled with lead in the paint-they're afraid the ankle biters will eat a Tonka toy road grader.

because thay are cheap
the box it probably considered the prize and if you get one with something (like the ones with the scene it games) you have to pay more than one without

probably dont want to get sued when the kid eats the toy instead of the cereal.
