Freebies

[Rufio]

What was your favourite freebie you ever got in a packet of cereal? Either in the box or ones you had to send away for. Mine was probably the frisby we got in Honey Nut Loops, it was really good and it lasted for years, took it on every holiday we had over about a 6yr period!

I don�t think was a freebie as such but I had to collect tokens off raisin splitz for a rubiks magic thing and there were 4 different pics to collect. But I also loved the Ghostbusters stickers free in Sugar Puffs.

when my son was about 6 they had them starwars chrecters heads, u might remember them we collected the whole set for him, although we went through hundreds of packets of cereals trying to complete the set ended up with about ten of everything but just could'nt find anakin, i was in a frenzy buying cereal untill we could'nt stand any more it made us sick just looking at cornflakes, i even took a packet back to the shop cos it did'nt have a toy inside, how sad is that at last the elusive anakin was found and we could get back to normal.

Shrinkie dinkies red? What were they?

[redcrx]

They were a large piece of plastic which you coloured in and then put in oven. It shrank to a smaller piece which you then put on a keyring or something.
will go see if i can find a link anywhere

Aw yeah i remember them now! My dads still got one of the ones i did, a little electric guitar thing. Hehe had forgotten all about them! Used to get a lot of spy things as well, spy filofaxes, spy glasses(still not recieved mine) spy codes and such. The little things that popped up were popular too, either the figures or animals on springs or even the hollow half spere where you pushed the middle in then put it down and it popped up in the air...can still remember the smell of that plastic lol :)

Mmmm yer poppers, I loved that smell, we used o buy them for 10p from the local toy shop :-)

rufio, i had forgotten about that half sphere, i had a yellow one lol

[Rufio]

Or remember the little clear plastic balls with liquid and another ball inside with a pattern or design on it, like an eyeball or a football? You'd roll them and the little thing inside rolled about in the liquid as well...

[Rufio]

Oo oo oo or the twirly straws that changed colour when you sooked up the milk left over in the bowl?

I well liked my Tony the Tiger bike reflectors, until other kids said they were rubbish. Then I was sad.

But I cheered up again when I got a baking soda submarine. But it didn't work properly and I was sad again.

Not cereal per se, but McDonalds gave away wicked frisbee type things with happy meals when I was a kid. I loved those.
