View Full Version : Cereal Offender

When I went shopping yesterday I noticed that out of the 30+ different cereals on the shelves not one of them had a free toy.
Sure, Coco Rocks had a free quiz CD, but I don't want something educational; I want something fun, like an official glow in the dark police badge.
What is the world coming to when a man can't even go into a shop and expect to get a free whistle or packet of football stickers with his Cheerios?
I got a lightsaber spoon with my honey smacks, but that was a while ago.

Cheerios ? They never had a special prize inside and no sugar at all - so fuck Cheerios ! You need to demand that your mommy gets you Tony The Tiger Frosted Flakes like mine does cause "They're Grrrreat !" (y)

I can only compare my enthusiasm of the cereal isle in a grocery store to the imported beer isle of same mentioned store
Imported beers need prizes too

I had a hippie mom; we never got cereal with toys in it :(
In retrospect I know this was a good thing, but still...

I guess the cereal companies feel that the sugary sweet cereal is a prize in itself :o
My prize...diabetes and high blood pressure/cholesterol :D

Went through a cereal revival about a month ago. Got two Episode III lightsabre thingies and then realised that I don't eat breakfast.
