My brain decided to bring up this memory for no reason today. Cereal box records. Back in the day, kid cereals would add cardboard records on the back of their boxes. You could cut them out and play them on any normal record player. The grooves were made with thin plastic and songs were pretty short.

Sound was horrible. But fun.

@box464 yep! I remember as a kid being so bummed hearing they didn’t finish the song (and therefore didn’t win)

@box464 Thanks for reminding me. This was an epic marketing ploy by the cereal makers.
And those "records" probably caused a lot of people to buy new needles for their record players!

@box464 as children we liked the 3d picture card that you tilted from side to side that seemed to move.

@AAA365a The baking soda submarines were our fave. I think that was Captain Crunch.
