For some unknown reason, I got to thinking about those little cereal

boxes you used to be able to get... individual serving size (for kids) and

they had the perforations on the front so that you could open up 2

little "doors", pour your milk right in (wax paper lining) and eat.



I never played with dolls that much but those cartons were great to

use as a little doll "wardrobe"... just yank out the wax paper and you

could put stuff in there and close the "doors"!



Anybody else remember these?



:-6

I have seen them around here at the store..in like a 10 pack. Or are the boxes different now?

Haven't gotten close enough to look... but I think now they just

expect you to pour them in a bowl... what fun is that?



;)

You bet I do, Val!

And I still buy them occasionally so I can grab a box for a quick sugar high :p

They're great! (as Tony the Tiger would say)

But, do they still have the little perforations?



I'm buyin' some if they do!!

You bet, my friend!

It's an awesome blast from the past, isn't it?

I want a water wiggle, Do they still make those?

I remember a little two pack of gum called Chum Gum.

I don't know, but here is the commercial for it.

My cousin took mine, stretched it out, and then tied it into a knot.

I used to love eating cereal out of those little boxes!

I still have a slinky, etch-a-sketch, and Mr. Potato Head ........for the kids of course!

And Operation was one of my favorite games ever! No wonder I never played with dolls...there were so many cool toys around....

cereal morons

Wow....what a flood of memories. My grandparents would take my cousins my sister and me to Mackinac Island for 2 weeks every summer, and that's what they would pack for us for breakfast...We'd rent a cabin about 50 feet from the lake, up every morning right onto the water to swim, the dogs would be with us.... :yh_sigh

Thanks for bringing back some of the best times of my life, Val!!!
