Does anyone notice the caption on this classic Quaker cereal, Quisp, from the 1960s?
"Free Comic Book INSIDE"
That's right, Inside. When was it that the cereal companies decided that it was no longer a good investment with putting the toy inside? I'm eating Frosted Mini Wheats at the moment and on the outside of the box reads:
"Free DVD.....by mail in rebate" ARE YOU SERIOUS?
1) Not only are we giving kids DVDs now with their cereal, but DVDs are soon to be obsolete, so way to give out an outdated toy.
2) A DVD is not a Toy...this could be a whole new debate.
3) Mail in rebate? If it doesn't fit....then don't give it away as FREE!
No one is going to bother to really persue watching the DVD you got from mailing in a box top of a Frosted Mini Wheats box, honestly the nature of the cereal box toy is have instant satisfaction, not 3-5 business days later.
I just want to know what happened to the cereal industry, just like the housing industry, they're both closer to the crapper than ever before.
ive done the DVD-Mail-In before.... kinda worth it? None of the movies are that great anyway... plus frosted mini wheats is a more adult food, more 'kid' foods have more 'kid toys'
