I'm upset with General Mills this morning! Don't they realize more then one kid eats from the same box of Multi-grain Cheerios? What is wrong with including two or more toys in each box? I must be missing something, but after I was about ten I never remember seeing a toy in cereal...only cracker jacks. I swear they outlawed it! Maybe China discontinued the cheap toys? That must be it. Everything comes back years later...the led toys made a return. I remember being about six or seven and fighting with my brother over who was going to get the toy from the Fruit Loop box. In fact, I remember sitting on the floor and dumping Honey Comb in a bowl just to find the toy that wouldn't last 30 seconds. Then when we returned it, the box was fat and we could never get the cereal to fit right. No wonder Mom knew when the toy was already gone! Now cereal companies got smart...toy's are found between cardboard and the plastic bag. My Mom could tell you as a teen I went through cereal like crazy. Now I look back I realize why...it was cheap, quick, easy and she didn't have to worry about me burning her pans! But I don't remember those cool spoons or nifty gadgets, unless she fished them out for Jessi while Bub and I were in school.
Off to spend the next few minutes researching a way to educate myself for free. Free? Is it possible? I don't know but it's worth looking for anything close to it.

LOL!!! I am not sure what to say... but laugh.... hehehe!!! I do agree they should put two toys in the box but my solution is buy two boxes problem solved. That is what I do at least.
Manufactures of cereal, as with anything else, have one thing in mind...sell,sell,sell! As much as it sounds great...don't count on it, buy more cereal. LOL
For all you readers out there...there once was a time I thought Averi would turn into a cereal box. Morning, noon and night she would go to the pantry, look through all the rows of cereal, and select one. At that time, I was the coupon queen, never paying more than 50 cents a box. I purchased so much cereal I alphabetized it...yup, I really did. As for who got those nifty toys out...Geez, it must have been Conwell! LOL
