The glow-in-the-dark Wacky Wallwalker from Froot Loops. You’d throw it on the wall and it would slowly crawl down.

We’d eat straight sugar, turn off the lights, and throw sticky spiders at the wall.

I miss when cereal came with free stuff inside. One time I got a disc with a demo of Sim City in it.

    I got a mini Ghostbusters air raid siren from one once. That thing was loud af for a kid's toy.

    I threw one of these on my grandma’s ceiling, it got stuck and she had to get on top of a chair to get it down, and it left an eternal grease spot. Sorry, grandma!

    The best thing that ever came in a box of cereal, besides the cereal, was Chex Quest. Funny how a corporate marketing scheme turned out to be an actually good Doom clone because they basically had no oversight and only had the simple task of promoting Chex and healthy eating habits, which is basically only seen in the opening cutscene.

    I remember those from the 25¢ toy capsule dispenser at the grocery store. The wacky sticky hand too.

    Yeah, but not from cereal. You could get them from those quarter vending machines in pizza places and arcades.

    Whoa. Yes. I remember that entire box.

    That toy was good for entire minutes of fun, until it collected all the pet hair and dust that collected in the carpet next to the baseboard.

    I remember it would pick up all the dirt and you would have to wash it.

    The fact they used to be different flavors is fascinating (since they are all the same now).
