Retro Cereal Toys: Unboxing Magic. Jim and Dawn Cutler asked people to send them old cereal box toys and they received over 100. Most were still "new" in their wrappers. This is a fun look at the toys and gadgets that used to come inside cereal boxes. When Cereal Boxes came With Toys! Some may make you remember and smile.
THE YELLOW BOAT: Friend of the channel, Lee Gordon says: "That little yellow boat in the Retro Cereal Toys video looks like it had a hole at the bottom of the keel. I believe it worked in a similar fashion to the Navy frogmen that came in some Kellogg's cereals (Corn Flakes, Frosted Flakes, & Sugar Pops) in the 50s. You filled the cavity with baking powder and when it mixed with water it created CO2 that blew out of the frogman's leg and propelled him in the water.
With the boat, I believe the idea was to fill the inside with water and break a little chunk of an Alka Seltzer tablet, drop it in, snap on the top, and that would make the boat go. When it ran out of gas, you'd open it up and drop in some more of the Alka Seltzer."
THE ORANGE STICKY THING: A few good people in the comments have told us it's either a "Wall Walker" that sticks to the wall and then slowly moves to the ground with gravity, or you put a pencil or pen through it and it helps you hold it more easily.
The YELLOW DISK according to Jeff: was to make a bottle a squirt gun around the time of Super Soaker craze. Had a pink one. Used it for drinking instead.
