    I loved those Baking Soda Submarines. I remember there were Scuba Divers as well.

    Hours of fun in the tub.

      I remember these superhero stickers back in 79 from general mills (Coco Puffs, Lucky Charms, etc.). Hulk, Spidey, Cap and Spider-Woman, 2 each in the set. I still have a Hulk and Spidey today, but I'm looking for the other Hulk decal.

      I can still remember as clear as day being in 1st grade and a girl two seats in front of me had the Hulk decal in her hands. I wanted it sooooo badly. Funny thing is, that's the decal I'm missing today.

            That Lady and Tramp look like look like Mold-O-Ramas. Cool.

            My all time favorite was the Cap'n Crunch whistle. Never was able to make free phone calls though. Wasn't in the "loop" when I was 6.

                You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                    Post Cereals did those DC promotions for years in the late 70s, early 80s, including iron-ons and posters. I loved my Batman poster, with the classic pose of Batman and Robin on the rooftop by Infantino and Anderson.

                    I also dug the baking soda dolphins from Cap'n Crunch.

                      I was thinking about this toy recentlly. Hope I didn't already post it here.

                      The glow in the dark Captain crunch moon model.

                      best mail away would have been a Count Chocula squeeze toy.

                          GITD Flintstones' Pebbles dinosaur skeletons. After looking for YEARS for one, I actually got one this past spring:

                            Those Black Hole pencil holders stick in my mind the most.

                            But my favourite would be these little Star Wars booklets that came in a cereal that I forget. The reason why they are my favourite is that after sitting in a box for nearly 30 years, I found a guy that was willing to pay me $30 a piece for them (I had 3 of them). Apparently they are quite rare. I love it when for once I have something that turns out to be worth much more than I thought (instead of the opposite) .

                              OH man , the baking soda submarines came to mind immediately upon seeing the thread title. I loved those !!!!!!!

                              I also really had tons of those sticky octupus that would tumble down while sticking to the wall.
