We always got generics in my house due to lack of funds...so instead of toys in the cereal, there were mazes and word searches on the box to be drawn on when the cereal was gone.

[@PinkyBear]

Finding free stuff in cereal boxes was the best!!

[@shawneldridge9312]

when i was a young kid, i loved getting the cool cereal toys.what happened. they need to start doing this again.

[@notkimjong-un3019]

The world got too electronic unfortunately and they decided it was better off

[@shawneldridge4465]

@@notkimjong-un3019 😱 Not fair at all, To me the best part of the cereal boxes was the prizes in them. I miss being an 80s kid so bad.

[@MegaManFan1987]

My favorite cereal toys was the Disney Afternoon figurines.

[@asmallquest]

Mini Boglins, Monster in My Pocket legendary toys that spread easily with cereal toys. Great video matey and I think cereal toys will make a comeback as I'm noticing loads of little rubber toys making a come back. So what's to stop them putting one in a cereal box again.

[@Nostalgianerd]

Thanks man. Yeah, I think you're right. I've noticed some things since making this. #longliveplasticshite

[@clockworklgrapefruit951]

I remember getting a record out of a cereal box. You had to unroll it and stick it to a piece of cardboard but it actually played.

[@9ElevenGamer]

I remember those Snap, Crackle, Pop figures, I once got a packet with multiple figures in it, which was a hoot.

[@Nostalgianerd]

+9ElevenGamer You know, I think I did as well! Good times!! XD

[@augustwest5356]

best cereal toy was the baking soda submarine!

[@frankschuler2867]

I totally remember that...it was like magic to me...

[@boltoms]

Atlantis bb!

[@emilymalden3310]

I remember those.

[@seansiewsarran]

It's sad that these days are gone ..feel sorry for kids these days

[@RandomVideoCircus]

Man this brings it back, I had an awesome childhood.

[@MrDan11422]

As many times I ran my hands through the cereal. Never once washed my hands first. Growing up in the 80s with 4 siblings, in order to get the prize you had to be the 1st one up. Thinking about it know how gross it was knowing everyone would eat the cereal after your hands went into the box.

[@binarydreamz]

Wacky Wall Walkers were the best cereal box toy

[@holden_tld]

not cereal, but around 1989 i ate like 40 chicken pot pies to send away for a tmnt plushie.

[@SMlFFY85]

My favorite cereal toy was the Fling-On that you got in boxes of Shreddies.

[@mydogprick]

me and my sister used to kick the shit out of each other in the mid 80s for who got the toy I remember the death of cereal toys was when in the late 90s early 2000s they started putting full proper DVD'S with movies like airbud, toy story ,inspector gadget etc. the movies were not actually inside the box the we're built-in between the cardboard sleeve of the box so you literally had to destroy the boxes I actually still have every one till this day they did a limited run of 5 dvds they did this twice once by general mills then Kelloggs copied them 10 dvds in all when you would go to the food stores 75% of the boxes were ripped up and destroyed due to kid theifs so they stopped doing it my favorite toys would be the sticky slimey hand on a string it would get covered in dirt and cat hair I would whip my sisters with it and dirty the shit out of the walls till my mother wanted to kill me...from the mid 80s till 96 was the best memorable times of my life I wish I could go back there the kids of this Era are completely mental loloooo

[@shamrockedemall]

I got a digital watch from honey comb

[@klankfanclub3152]

My favorites was the toucan Sam submarine and the Han Solo in stormtrooper disguise from froot loops

[@oddpodshow]

my uncles friend ate so many boxes of coco pops to get me a mighty max toy you had to send off for :) loved cereal toys, my fave were the mini boglins.

[@Nostalgianerd]

Odd pod Ahhh shitttt. I forgot about Mini Boglins! XD

[@oddpodshow]

Nostalgia Nerd yeah :D ive got a bunch oc cocopops monster bookmarks to do a vid on sometime.

[@Nostalgianerd]

Awesome! :D

[@Kelly_Rowe]

In the 80's I probably got my parents to buy so many types of cereals just based off the toy inside. I remember the excitement of the ride home from the store. I'd run inside with the paper bag containing my cereal box and right as I was about to open the box and dive my little hand inside for my new toy my mom would tell me that I couldn't until I'd helped her put all the groceries away. After all that was done I finally was able to claim my prize and enjoyed the next 20 minutes throwing a wacky wall walker at my bedroom wall and watching it roll its way down to the floor where it became covered in dog fur and no longer fun to play with. Luckily for me, GI Joe would be coming on to divert my attention and get me fixated on the next box of cereal to get my parents to purchase when the commercials played.

[@maxpower7525]

i had a spooky spoon it changed colour

[@frankschuler2867]

Wacky Wall Walkers FTW...and good God, I forgot about those fucking reflectors...

[@dannycivic02]

and don't forget the cut out records that were glued to the front of frostie packets, vanilla I've was played alot. I actually did save up tokens for a thunderbird 3 it took so long to arrive I lost interest in collecting the others.

[@ongakuwotabeta]

I remember getting lucky on a set of Shrek (2?) Cereal toys. They were water squirters. I still have them sealed. Only 2 trips to the store and I got 3 Fionas, Shrek, donkey, and I think Puss in Boots. Thank you for letting me relive that nostalgia! My mom drove to the store, I was 9 or 10.

[@peterj4283]

Disney black coldren toys were my favourite cereal freeby.

[@xxxSashxify]

Without a doubt THE best video on KZbin 😍😂

[@pferreira1983]

Feel sorry for kids today. They don't get toys in cereal boxes. In Portugal they still do this though so just visit Portugal Stuart.

[@Lawnboyspost1975TheHomeOfDave]

I still remember wetting my pants over the Dungeons and Holograms, I forget what they came in though. Awesome trip down memory lane mate! ;)

[@Nostalgianerd]

thanks dude. Even the words holograms and dungeons makes me wet my pants

[@edtheluck]

Oh wow! Haven't thought about those in an absolute age! Dungeons & Dragons (the cartoon because the back of the box had the characters on?) and they were found in Shreddies I do believe.

[@MoonwolfeConsulting]

That Terry Labonte NASCAR hauler was totally awesome!

[@brannenthompson9662]

1:55 "Bastards" Pure joy. classic and perfectly narrated, and so so true.

[@griff5476]

I just said to my wife yesterday... Where did all the cereal toys go???.... after my son found a mega blocks car in some bootleg (b&m) lucky charms, obviously American. PS... He has fended off the ADHD, he's just a nutter.

[@Nostalgianerd]

Ian Griffiths Can't beat bootleg lucky charms.....right?

[@griff5476]

Lol, well they were genuine, just import stock with a new label slapped on. I had a bowl, the sweetness made my lips curl. It was the 80's again. Nostalgia heaven in a bowl

[@redfear7757]

What do you mean, obviously American?

[@griff5476]

@@redfear7757 we can't get them over here. Import only. You guys allow GM foods. Europewide ban in place ie they were from America.. obviously. Wow necrobump lol

[@jeremysteelman2900]

I never heard of this "seewee oh" until now. We use to have cereal with the same toys when I was a kid though.

[@oddpodshow]

oh wow i forgot about spooky spoons!

[@Nostalgianerd]

Odd pod So many different coloured piece of plastic. It was a 3D printers dream era.

[@anthonyscott9063]

Member the submarine you added baking soda to?

[@Greenriver842]

When i was a kid i went crazy over functional prizez like monoculars, flashlights, magnifying glasses, whistles... I don't know if it's a new law that does not allow plastic pieces inside the food or what but cereal boxes ain't got no cool stuff anymore.

[@supercomputer0448]

I'm 13 and I have only ever 1 time gotten a toy in cereal it was a plastic spongebob on a surfboard that had no joints just a solid block

[@crieverytim]

Aldis kids be like: aww poor you and your first world problems. At least you guys had a pretty box to read.

[@BiohazardEXTREME]

The white center Milky Way is the one true Milky Way.

[@mythomaschannelisback2440]

I remember the sesame street beans from Kelloggs in there cereals

[@Johnnyafc]

I still have a collection of tat from cereals 😂👍🏻

[@sebastianraynor3641]

I eat alot of the toys i was a hungry kid

[@ChristianSpliess]

And sometimes you had a little table-top-board on the back! Just to cut that off and play it was a delight. - Well...

[@6672rock]

I still have a set of 4 dinosaur coins I got from a box of Fruity Pebbles some time in the late 70's I think, or it might have been the very early 80's. I'm not entirely sure.

[@Nostalgianerd]

Find them! :D

[@6672rock]

Oh, they were never lost mind you. I just examined them the other day, and they're still in quite good condition I might add.

[@ivopoes]

I got the rct corcscrew follies expansion pack out of a cereal box

[@LegitMan335]

Find cereal with toy inside!

[@noetrevino8279]

👻 🥄 in the 80s. 90s it was mini Lego figurines and crazy straws.

[@Emperor_mtn_Dew]

What if.......they put the cereal *inside* the toy.😲😲😲

[@geoffshaw346]

No wonder I have type 2 diabetes,after years of sugary cereal indoctrination.

[@SixArmedSweater]

Well this was needlessly bitter.

[@veronagomez9073]

how come they don't put toys in cereal boxes no more 😭

[@pferreira1983]

Because they're boring.

[@jpolar394]

If the cereal tasted good, there were never prizes inside the box. Only if the cereal was loaded with sugar and taste like shit,then there would be a prize in the box.

[@AHannah79]

Wacky wall walkers

[@Blackstaar52]

Well today we have micro transaction so same thing

[@yarloo]

You can see the ad team coming up with this crap. You have imagination. It's close enough.

[@alphaomega8373]

Trying to hard.

[@kjcxb1]

I remember as a kid that they used to have these no name PC game CDs that you’d be able to see from the outside of the box and that the cd was held to the box inner wall by some sticky thing. but you also get more known PC games like roller coaster tycoon and SpongeBob battle for bikini bottom PC version.
