Favorite vintage cereal premiums.

[Wee67]

So many, but I'll second the balloon cars, any erasers and Cap'n's baking soda submarine.

I don't know if they were cereal premiuims or not, but I loved those walker- basically a figure with moveable legs attached to some sort of weight by a string. You'd drop the weight of the edge of a table and the figure would "walk."

[UnderdogDJLSW]

Freakies are my most remembered. I had the car, figures, and the magnets (though those may not have been from the cereal box).

I also remembered a submarine from Cap'n Crunch that you would fill with backing soda and it was supposed to blow bubbles and rise to the top. Never worked.

I also cannot remember from where I got this, but I think it was from a cereal box: It was a "soap carver" like how one would whittle wood. Made of plastic and really wasn't that sharp. It disappeared one day. Presumably after my mother discovered why she had to buy more soap each week.

Thi is one of the coolest threads ever. . . . as a kid i based my cereal choice on the prize. I coveted these things! So if it has been mentioed here I probably had it. loved the balloon racers, soda subs, records, etc. though not ceral related I loved the Frito-Bandito and WC Frito Erasers too. The coolest cereal toy in recent years are the Star Wars Light Saber spoons, I have all three of them and use one at my desk at work when I eat oatmeal or yogurt . . . I get some strange looks

I remember there was Maximillian, V.I.N.Cent, Sentry Robot and Old B.O.B.... maybe there were others too.
I can't remember exactly which cereal they came in, though....

Shreddies! Of course! Thanks for jogging my memory! I'm surprised I forgot, considering how many of those pencil holders I had.


Edit: Found some pictures, too!
