Cereal Killers

Gotta have my bowl, gotta have toys in cereal!

Remember the days when you bought your box of cornflakes, or coco pops, or whatever it may be. And the big exitement was the toy inside, thats what everybody always wanted.
I think the British were a lot different to Americans in how we gained 'the glorious prize'. Americans saw it as more of a prize 'that will choose its owner'. And therfore the prize belonged the whoevers bowl it fell into.
Here in Britain we took a very selfi...different approach. It was simply first to open the box and dig out the prize got it.

Now these were fun times, and at a time when breakfast seems to be more important than ever, shouldn't these moments be encouraged. I'm worried that we've become to 'safety consicous'. It's taking the joy out of everything - first playgrounds and then cereal.
We saw the 'cereal toys' slowly fade away as the transition was gradually made to books and dvds, and now we've reached a stage where thiers nothing, not even hardly any games on the back of the box anymore.
What do we get instead? Advertising, and competitions to enter if you want to win a prize trip somewhere. It's just not the same.

They've stripped away my glorious memories of childhood. I really do feel sorry for the children of today, they've missed the joys that we once experienced - great tv, toys in cereal, amazing playground games. They're all history now, and at the moment thier seems to be no way of bringing them back.
