Cereals dont have prizes anymore? Why? Cause lawyers threatened to sue them if kids accidentally swallowed the toy? Lol. Stupid. I used to love those prizes in cereals. It was part of the joy of opening the box.

Same thing happened to cracker jack. It used to have cool toys inside. Now theres only a stupid useless sticker.

I miss those prizes too, cereal companies apparently stopped putting prizes in them around the year 2000. Occasionally you will find some cereals with prizes in them but it's rare.

Here is a commercial from 1988 for Cap'N Crunch cereal. The prize was plastic globes, one of the globes glowed in the dark. I remember those globes and still have them!

This is a mid-1970s TV commercial for Post Alpha-Bits cereal with a special prize in each box - a mini terrarium!
