I remember asking time and again for cereal with a toy , one day they got a box .
It was the space capsule. You ran a string from a high point to a low point . Put the space capsule on the string and as it waddled down the string it would shake open and a astronaut would fall out with a little parachutes .
Thought it was the shiet .
Yeah , I know that ain’t how it went , To a kid it didn’t matter , fuggin thing was just cool .
Then another box had cut out soldiers .
Used them to trace me a pile of soldiers , a fort made from cardboard and paste made from flour and water .
Had a ball with that stuff .

Back at the same time jelly came in containers that made good drinking glasses. We had the whole Flintstone collection.

When I was a kid, some of the cereal boxes actually had 45 rpm records incorporated into the back of the box. When the box was empty, just cut it out and play it on your record player. I remember that... I also remember always being in trouble for stealing the toy before my younger sister got her cereal.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Got a cereal spoon with Huckleberry Hound on the handle sending in box tops from Cheerios. I had a cutout 45 rpm that was "The Archies" singing some bubblegum song. Not cereal but best toy was my Frito Bandito eraser. That thing looked badness on a pencil in elementary school.

Back around 1962, Post cereals had baseball cards on the back of the boxes. I ate a bunch of Corn Flakes so I could get a Mickey Mantle, and the rest of the Yankees cards.

Got up early on Saturday to snatch out the toys then resealed the box tops.
Having lots of siblings makes you creative.
That's nearly as bad as drinking the whole bottle of mescal just to make sure you're the one to get the worm. Get everyone to put money down on table cause they dont think you will do it.... Tilt bottle straight up to your mouth. Let gravity send me worm to you. Encourage the crowd with hand gestures. Worm arrives... Good chugg. Chew mr. Worm up Crunchy head , chewy outer skin, little popping sensation. Worm taste like mescal anyways. Stick chewed up worm out on your tongue to show everyone. Listen to wives and girlfriends grossed out comments ( they put money on the table also, homie dont do mescal worms for free) Swallow. Collect all the money from the chicken schits layed out on the table. Drink a ice cold bud bar bottle and repeat shots of mescal. Good times... LOL!!! ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/13S7g75b/20200120-111234.jpg)

Fred Flintstone was the cartoon Jackie Gleason and was the precursor to Archie Bunker.

I have a rubber Bandido out of a bag of Frito corn chips somewhere, seen it when we moved 15 years ago. I think you put him on your pencil eraser? CRS sucks.
Life is good live it while you can.
