Toys in cereal packets

First the cereal was in the box with the toy
Then the cereal was bagged in the box, with the toy in the cereal
Then the cereal was bagged in the box, and the toy was bagged and in the cereal
Then the cereal was bagged in the box, and the toy was bagged but in the box, totally separate from the cereal
Now the toys are all in McDonalds.

As with most things in life Viz has the answer;

Talking of Shreddies I miss the days when you got loads still joined together like a tasty tectonic plate, they all seem to individual Shreds now, life was better in the old days

It's been downhill since Steve Cram invested Kellog's Start.

(free sweatbands with tokens, as I recall)

It's what they would have wanted.

[QUOTE 4930919, member: 45"]My grandad uses to collect the tokens for cars from weetabix, and get them sent to me. Our house had a box on the outside wall instead of a letterbox. The previous owner was a magistrate and worried about letter bombs. Or so my dog thought.[/QUOTE]
LittleKnees has a Weetabix racing car in the 'garage' (box under the sofa) which I appear to have badly painted in white enamel at some point.

I remember the little submarine which was fuelled with bicardonate of soda, which made it go up and down in water.
Then there was a catamaran which used an inflated balloon for motive power.
And a glow-in-the-dark plastic fish.

Probably not in now for health and safety reasons. Someone swallows a plastic toy by mistake and sues for millions. There goes the profit from attracting people to buy, for the free toy.

Anything that goes down for free as to be worth having.

My first thought on reading the OP.
Are you an old fart like me who remembers it from the 50s or did they re-launch them.
