The dogs in wheetos were a hit. And I also have fond memories of collecting to get a naff bracelet from special K.

Pogs.

Spokey dokies.
Probably with Frosties as I ate tons of them.

Ooh, and those branded cereal bowls!

Oh yes, spokey dokes, and the Kellogg's clip on reflectors. Belonged to whoever's bowl they fell into which led to much devious rearranging of the 'inner bag' between me and DB.

Weetabix Lego you had to send away for them with a token from the box. Still got mine and the children play / played with them

I loved my Rice Crispies pop up watch!

Mini Trolls from Wheetos and Coco Monkey torch projectors from Coco pops - there was a hippo one of these in a box of DH's stuff MIL handed over recently 🤣. He's 37 and it still worked.

PC20 · 12/03/2023 22:22

I'm sure I sent off tokens from branflakes and got a substantial pair of kitchen scissors - still in use daily after 30 years!

.....never touched branflakes for over 25 years after too much morning sickness tho!

Twinedpeaks · 12/03/2023 22:23

The demon headmaster books you used to get in Kellogg's. Gave me nightmares!

RandomUsernameHere · 12/03/2023 22:25

Those reflective Kellogg's roosters that you attached to your bike wheels

Oh wow, I've just remembered these dogs and found a picture on Google. The nostalgia! Had to share with my sister, though 😒
