I am having my second bowl of Reeses puffs and I add peanut butter out of the jar. At 55 I remember the toys in cereal boxes we us older boys always gave them to our younger two brothers.
Although today all toys could be mine.

Remember when Little Caesars used to give out free toys and stuff? I still have my purple plastic LC spoons.

I remember they also gave out these little rubber toys that looked like a suction cup. You turned it inside out, set it on the table, and it would go POP! and fly up in the air. You could make babies laugh forever with those things.

(4,634 posts)It was a little Cinnamon Toast Crunch guy, part of a Collect Them All company/brand mascots thing.
Sadly, it was tucked between the bag and the box, so I didnt get to jam and wiggle my whole arm down to the bottom of the cereal.

A few years later my brother and I got those tiny plastic submarines that rose and sank. You put baking soda in a little compartment to make it work.
