    Remember those little plastic terrariums that you could grow sprouts from seeds?

        Here's my childhood bike plate that I have hanging in my garage next to my real ones.
        Although I did have a cereal premium plate at one point, I don't think this is it. I think the cereal ones were smaller and could not be customized. In fact, now I'm not sure I ever had this on the bike at all.plate.jpg

          Great topic, Tim! I used to choose my cereals by prize they were giving away.

          I'm sure I'll think of something else in 10 minutes, but my fist thought is the Freakies bulb cars. I've got a couple today.

            FREAKIES, FREAKIES, FREAKIES!!!!!! I loved cereal premiums!!!!The Fruity Pebbles 70s Flintstone Mobile, Quisp Moon Walker, Captain Crunch Sub Marine were all great fun!
            Here is an old pic of some of my old Freakies. These were some of my favorites!!! I also like Monster cereals ect too! I had no idea that Hasbro was responsible for designing many premiums including Freakies!!!

              These sea creatures were also sold as a bagged set separately I think by MPC. The squid was also reused by Hasbro late in the 1970s Gijoe run and molded in grey!

                  I recall a GITD skeleton, five flat plastic pieces that you hooked together so his arms and legs dangled, but I can't recall which cereal I got him in. I always got Capt. Crunch, but often had breakfast with the King (King Vitaman) and Sugar Crisp, as well as few others. Could have been from any of them.
                  Update: It was Capt. Crunch:
