Cereal box toys...?!
Answers: Why have cereal companies stopped putting cool toys inside of their cereal boxes? When I was a kid, the toy was the reason WHY I wanted a certain kind of cereal. Nowadays, all they give you is a stupid maze on the back of the box or a toy that you can send away for after you eat 10 boxes of cereal, cut out the proofs of purchase, and enclose a check for $1.99 for shipping and handling. For as much as one pays for a box of cereal, you'd think that shipping and handling was ALREADY included! Remember those "wacky wall walkers"!?
LOL i remember them! i agree with you on this! but yesterday i found cereal with a spoon included(in the box) LOL. my girls always had to have the cereal with a toy inside even if they wouldnt eat the cereal. good question!
Perhaps the cereal companies realized too many parents were like my mother: No matter how much I yelled i wanted a given cereal (read: toy at the bottom of the cereal box) she always bought Rice Crispies or Cheerios because those were the ones that were healthy. Well i didn't want healthy, i wanted sugar coated toys confoundit!
Yeah, I agree the same thing happened with Cracker jacks.:)
