      I remember always asking for Millbrook bread because it had Snoopy on the package but it must've been a lot more expensive because we didn't get it very often. Also the Caharlie Brown Specials used to always be sponsored by Dolly Madison Zingers and those were hard to find where I lived. I think I had them once or twice growing up and always wanted them whenever a Charlie Brown special aired. Maybe they just didn't have them at the store we shopped at. Not all stores carried all the same stuff back then.

        Thanks for the info Hotfoot and Underdog. Being non-American it's sometimes hard to know what you guys are going on about

          I think I got some Empire Strikes Back cards out of a bread pack or cereal box or something. They were three cards on a sheet with perforations so that you could tear them apart. Maybe I traded with another kid for the three that I had. Do those sound familiar to anyone? They had a white border.

          MUCH more recently, I picked up a few Justice League cards in a cereal box. I think I have Superman, Flash and Martian Manhunter. I can't remember where they came from, but I know I still have them. I'll have to look and see if it says anything on the card itself about the tie-in.
          Nostalgia just ain’t what it used to be.

            i remember those battlestar galactica cards! i always got the crappy ones tho! i remember the hostess snacks as well. whenever we went grocery shopping, i stayed by the hostess display and literally checked every single one of the boxes to see which one had my favorite players. i finally find the one i want and put it in the shopping cart. when i get home, i ask my mom, where's the hostess, and she says she didnt buy it bec they're not healthy snacks!

              I have a few of the Batman Trading Cards & some Battlestar Galactica ones too. They bring back a lot of fond memories. It really made my Sister & I wolf-down the bread because we knew that Mom would have to buy more.
