Of course Jason would have it! Cool to finally see. Funny, though I did like the film as a kid and really admire the place it hold in film-making history, I probably would not have found this box too compelling in trying to sell me a miniature frisbee.

Those are awesome. I would have totally eaten yucky cereal for that.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...Comment

Nope, no Coffee Crisp, no Aero or Smarties either (they have a candy called "Smarties" but it's something different). And the US doesn't have anywhere near the different flavours of chips that we have.
And don't even try to bring a Kinder Surprise chocolate egg into the US. It's illegal and US Customs will seize it because the FDA has determined that US children are not as smart as children in the rest of the world, and will choke to death on the toy encapsulated inside the egg. Seriously.

We did have the Nestle's Treasures (is that was it was called?) for a while, where there were prizes enclosed in a circle of chocolate, but I guess it was recalled for that reason. And yes, they ARE a choking hazard. Now let's not argue over who has better products.Nope, no Coffee Crisp, no Aero or Smarties either (they have a candy called "Smarties" but it's something different).

We now return you to our Black Hole Breakfast post, already in progress."Do you believe, you believe in magic?
'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

I really didn't mean to derail this thread, but crap, I may have. But really, anyone who has seen a Kinder Surprise egg would realize that the toy inside the really hard to open capsule inside the chocolate egg is quite far from a choking hazard. My son has been eating this product since he was two or three, and believe me, I'm probably over protective as a parent, and I've never thought he was in any danger when eating this product. He would take a bite out of the egg, open it up, hand the big, nearly impossible to swallow capsule to me, and I would open it to get to the toy while he finished eating the egg. OK, I'm done, back to the Black Hole!

Same here.
I remember embracing this promotion in a big way.... I ate Shreddies every day, week in week out, until I got all the pencil holders, and later the space signallers, in pretty much all the colour variations.
I had tons of them. Many other kids in my class did too.
It was like everyone was eating Shreddies and coming in to school with those pencil holders.
The teacher confiscated a couple of mine once because I was playing with them when I should have been paying attention. He put them in his desk drawer.
I took them back when he wasn't looking.
I remember when they used to have really cool stuff in them, like actual metal figurines of fantasy warriors, knights, cowboys and stuff.
They've also done a lot of licensed toys... like Lord of the Rings, Smurfs, Disney, Hanna Barbera, and Star Wars.
But sometimes the best stuff in the eggs is exclusive to Germany.Last edited by Bruce Banner; Mar 24, '12, 7:21 AM.PUNY HUMANS!Comment

Hmmmm....
Shreddies always had the best prizes. Sadly. I can't count how much of that stuff I had to choke down as a kid.
It could be worse; I remember one time Wheatabix was offering some good stuff....
