AMERICAN CEREAL PREMIUMS TODAY

Hello Woodsy, 

I recently commented that there were no longer toys given away in packets of cereal. 

Now after a drought of several years I saw this Kellogg's Frosted Flakes package with FREE Plastic Jurassic Chiller inside. Your guess is as good as mine as to what a Chiller is. 

In the past there have been packs of Baseball, Football and Basketball player cards especially printed by the likes of Topps the largest of the Bubble Gum Card companies. 

From the Post Honey-Comb pack it would seem they now print the cards on the back of the pack to be cut out. This is the way is was in the 40's and 50's before plastic toys were included in the pack. 

I fondly remember cutting out BOAC airliners from the back of Corn Flake boxes in the early 50's. 

Regards,
