I remember when they put $1 bills in boxes of Cheerios. It was like 1 in 5 or 1 in 10 wins or something, but I thought it was so cool as a kid!

My fave was always Cheerios!

The first box has the o's in the background. Also, the logo positioning changed. #1

As a child, it was always fun to see the commercials and hear a man say "look for specially marked boxes of *cereal name* for a prize! And back then the prize was in the cereal. Not wrapped in plastic separately.

I mainly remember begging for cereal with prizes at the store and my mom telling me that we don't buy cereal for the prize.
| 22. | Robin | my website | Mon Feb 15, 2010 @ 02:06PM |
I liked Lucky Charms.

My favorite cereal prize was a color changing spoon. It changed depending on the temperature of the liquid. In fact, I think it came out of a Trix box.

The old box has a lighter background with O's in in. The new one is brighter and more crisp.

I remember once I sent in the cut out in the box to the company and got a Tony the Tiger hat. LOL. Now I save these toys that come with the cereal as stocking stuffers or decorations for gifts.

The box has a different shaped bowl, the moose is on one box and there are cheerios falling to make the dot on the "i" instead of just one cheerio.

I had three siblings so it was always a fight to see who got the prize first. I remember dumping many boxes of cereal into a bowl just to get the prize buried at the bottom. I recall those submarines you filled with baking soda and they'd submerge then rise.
My favorite other food promo was Disneykins - tiny disney character figures you got from Jello Pudding!

I'm having a hard time thinking of a specific memory (younger child, so didn't have to fight for the cereal box prize), but I really loved the "Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids!" commercials as a kid. And "Coco for Cocoa Puffs!"
Thank you for the giveaway!

Commenting again about my favorite cereal as a kid - Lucky Charms. entry #2! Since I'm not sure if you're using random.org for this.
(I loved the marshmallows; I used to eat them first. Come to think of it, that could be my childhood cereal memory, too.)

I remember the Trixx rabbit, and the bright red box and colors. I remember many mornings of staring at the back and I loved that cereal!
