Cereal Box PRIZES | The RISE & FALL of Cereal Toys 

I remember those terrariums. They were pretty cool for cereal prizes. I also remember the records on the back of the cereal boxes that you could cut out and play on the record player. They didn’t sound the best, but they were cool.

The hunt for Chex Quest starts today! The ones i recall was a trix spoon that changed color, tmnt bowl, trading cards, books & those chip n dale stamps

Subscribed! Great video! In my curio cabinet, I have the wacky wall walker, the diving Tony the Tiger, and the 80s version of the baking soda frogman, all still in their original wrapping. They were my favorite cereal box prizes.

The advantage of being an only child was never having to fight over the prize in the cereal box.

I been waiting someone to cover this 4 some time. How fun.

Hands-down, my favorite cereal prize was the Frosted Flakes ‘Diving Tony,’ do you remember that one? It was basically just a plastic cylinder vaguely shaped like Tony the Tiger. Through some kind of magic, when you put it in a plastic bottle of water and squeezed the bottle, Tony would rocket down to the bottom. This made such an impression on me that I still occasionally look on eBay that for one, but they’re hard to find in good condition. Also, regulations invariably destroy more things than they protect us from … especially in regards to the time-cherished moments of our childhood that most of us managed to survive 😆

Those Cap'n Crunch submarines never worked right! Haha! More often than the in box toys were the mail in for prizes! We got several of those over the years - more often from General Mills because those boxes also had the Betty Crocker seals on them my mom collected! My brother got one of those little wooden elf people and I got a plastic connecting set of blocks you could build a robot from! Funniest family mishap was the time the same brother mentioned asked our older brother to write the letter to GM for a Nerf Football. To be a wise guy he wrote: "Dear Sir, I demand a Nerf Ball...!" My brother got mad about it and so did my mom! I don't think he ever ended up with it, either! Haha!

The Cap'n Crunch Soggies and the Sogmaster were some of my absolute favorites. Fellow Gen X kid here, and I just stumbled across your page and immediately subscribed!

I got lots of cool toys in my cereal boxes in the 70's and 80's, but my favorite ever was from a box of Addams Family cereal in college: an Uncle Fester Flashlight. The cereal was an awful rip-off of Cap'n Crunch, but since the premium was on the outside of the box, I just had to have it.

i got two different press-out records on the back of cereal boxes: Last train to Clarksville by the Monkees and Sugar, Sugar by the Archies

I had most of those at one point - 40 years ago. LOL

Thanks for covering this. ❤

I had the glow in the dark pens and the terrariums.

3:40 Freakies ! That was a childhood favorite, with a twisted little plastic monster in each box. Another was a chess set we cut off of a raisin bran box. I learned how to play chess from that, our first chess set. ( Unfortunately I still play chess like I learned the game from a cereal box )

The best toys in cereal were the metal bike license plates in Honeycomb, and ALL of the toys you could find in FREAKIES... balloon powered cars, boats, baking soda submarines, magnets... so much fun!

I loved playing outside till the soft amber glow lured me back in

I wanted the submarine more than anything, and I did get it. Mine worked, though it was apparently not true for everyone.

I loved my glow in the dark trapeze artist that came from Frankenberry.

The same thing happened to Cracker Jack's prizes.

Ooo I saw banana Frosted Flakes!!!!! Where can I get those at?????

The best way to get the prize is pour the ceral into the large mixing bowl .

I always liked the Disney figures that would hang on to the cereal bowl.

Wacky wall walkers!!!

You just had to open the box upside down. I was a smart kid
