hmmm the last time I saw a prize that was actually in the box of cereal was a plastic spoon that changed color when you used it in cold milk. and that was about 6 years ago.
it promptly melted in the dishwasher.
I was a kid when I remember suddenly you had to start sending in 12 UPC codes for a cheap toy.

Man back in the day when I was a kid, those times were the shit. I remember getting this toy that was like binoculars, magnifying glass, compass, and whistle in a box of cereal. That toy was the shit. They used to have a lot of cool things like that back in the day. Too bad kids now are getting fucked over into giving up all their private info and spending money postage and shit like that just to get a toy they'll be bored with inside of five minutes.

Crackerjacks have been giving out this constant pencil decoration paper. Its picture of cartoon ants that I guess your supposed to put on the end of your pencil. Its the most worthless prize I've ever come across...and it's been in every crack jack box I've got within the last couple years.

Right around when they made the "send-away" switch, I sent for and received the best cereal box toy ever: For two UPCs and 1.99 in S&H I received a watch ...that played Tetris!
Freaking awesome! I loved that thing until I accidentally froze it and it broke.
