do you ever buy cereal just for the toy inside?

Back in the day when I was real little, I would have bought Cracker Jacks for the toy. Alas, their prizes suck nowadays.

Maybe when I was 7-10.

Then I upgraded to the Cracker Jack Box.

When i was younger i wanted a Super Nintendo so bad. I would buy Cookie Crisp every week because they were always giving one away. I never won it, but i have one now

OH MY GOOD LORD!!!! me too... that was the only reason since i couldnt find my Favorite muppet movie anywhere else! :D

other than that, not really as the quality of "toys" in cereal has really gone down. I miss the 80's when there were little stuffed animals and things in them. :(

Cracker Jacks used to come with little metal Hot Wheels-style cars. What more could a little boy want? <sigh>

Only when I was young. Also I don't eat cereal anymore and they don't have any good toys now.

Of course, back in the day.....:D

Nowadays the toys aren't really that great. I don't consider stickers worth getting excited over. Now I mainly buy based on the amount of sugar I can ingest with one serving: 1 serving = 500 grams of sugar = fun for me!!! :evil:

Not since I was a child. Shredded Wheat and Honey Nut Cheerios are pretty much the only cereal in my house.

I bought (well, my mom was convinced to buy for me) a box of captain crunch berries or something for the invisible ink pens. I promised I would eat the entire box, but was only able to choke down one bowl.
