Very well designed and executed. Very cool premium and I am so glad getting the love they deserve now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15219229326563182641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-37021413223145588102016-11-04T09:03:00.607-04:002016-11-04T09:03:00.607-04:00Yeah I gotta back up Qween on that.

Toy commercials alone were the stuff of legend let alone the junk food, cereals and restaurants I never visited.<br /><br />When I was 7 I made my parents pull over to visit a Carvel. It then dawned on me that we couldn't take a fudgie the whale on our trip.Plaidstallionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04922569505772725122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-80029302195183475032016-11-04T08:58:55.500-04:002016-11-04T08:58:55.500-04:00Scott, as someone who grew up on the border watchi...Scott, as someone who grew up on the border watching American TV I can tell you that we were waaaaay more envious of all the stuff you could get in the US. <br /><br />Captain Crunch, Ding Dongs, the Hostess Pies advertised during Charlie Brown cartoon specials and TAB.<br /><br />All things we cross border shopped for well into the 80s because you couldnt get it in Canada. <br /><br />I still can't get Nutter Butters here and I'm very bitter about it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046530469605091918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-40615445580068754832016-11-04T04:02:16.599-04:002016-11-04T04:02:16.599-04:00Growing up in Buffalo NY, I used to watch a lot of...Growing up in Buffalo NY, I used to watch a lot of Canadian TV. I was always super jealous of the awesome prizes (Good good whole wheat) Shreddies had. Star Trek ships, The Black Hole and a ton of other Disney tie-ins. I also thought it was genius to have desirable prizes in a "good for you" cereal as opposed to sugary crap cereals.Scottnoreply@blogger.com
