just the free stuff from the backs of cereal boxes. Color-changing plastic spoons from Trix did not disappoint.

My next free mail-in will be a charm bracelet from Arm & Hammer Cat litter.

I remember saving the inside wrappers of bazooka Joe gum and sending them in for some secret wrist watch with a special code attached. Cant recall if I was disappointed or not, so must mean I liked it for at least 10 minutes..

 

That's super cool.

Yes! X2.

It was disapointing though...

I respectfully disagree, though it’s a close call. I think spirals win by a little because they are less likely to get unmixed cheese dust hiding in them. Every once in a while you get a bite of elbow noodles and it’s a little grainy and overly fake-cheesy because there’s a bolus of cheese powder stuck inside an elbow. The benefit of the elbow package is you get more noodles, and thus a bigger soporific carbohydrate rush at the end of the meal.

Be kind English is my 2nd language. My primary language is Dave it's a unique evolution of English.

Coincidence?

Early 1970's... Ballpark Franks had a promo for an aluminum baseball bat. (An aluminum bat in the 70's was the coolest thing a kid could have short of a banana-seat-stick-shift 5 speed bicycle).
I don't recall how many wrapper packages BP required but, my dad was a butcher and he brought home an entire case of empty packages from the outdated hotdogs. Sent them in, my bat arrived in a timely way, and my summer was complete. With the way my 90yo dad collects things, it might still be in his garage.

Oh, how I desired to get one of those hovercrafts!

My mom got my brother and I hubba bubba shirts when we were kids in the 80s. that was a great surprise.

A Kool-Aid pitcher. I loved it because it resembled the one on the packaging.
