Have you had your Secrets of Space?

 I love these old Secrets of Space cards from Weet-bix I saw online.

There's even a Moon Prospector!

This is 12 of the 20.


There's even a poster as described below! Wow! Anyone got one?

I love how you could swap with Sanitarium themselves! 

The Moon Suit, no. 13, is a really gorgeous card.

Is Weet-bix the same as Weetabix here in Blighty?

    I think Weet-Bix and Weetabix are pretty much the same thing. Not that I have ever seen an actual Weetabix.
    I do not recall having ever seen this set.

    1. Yes, it's a lovely set by the looks.

  2. Sanitarium is a long time food manufacturer, originally establiahed by Seventh Day Adventists.
    They have a number of product names that were trademarked here in Australia before the original owners expanded to the Southern hemisphere.
    ( a bit like Woolworths, who are nothing to do with the US or UK brands.)
    Sanitarium have a yeast product called Marmite, that tastes nothing like the original. As a consequence, down under, UK style Marmite is branded as Our Mate.

    Sanitarium ran a great line in breakfast cereal premiums into the late 70's, long after Keloggs and Nabisco had given up the practice.

    1. Fascinating. Our Mate! Sounds almost the same Looey! I had some flat plastic figures from Sanitarium which I think we're margarine gifts.
