What happened to the free giveaways for the little people?
Everything seems to be a code that you need to enter online, cut out and sent away in a self addressed stamped envelope with a check for shipping and handling, or "texted" to whatever phone number.
I miss the little thingamajigs that used to come inside the cereal boxes.
I miss opening the box and pulling the full bag out to see if the Hot Wheels car or Wacky Sticker sheet was in the box or somewhere inside the cereal bag.
My kids are missing out on an important ritual, here!
So today, for nostalgia purposes, I am writing the rest of this post in lemon juice. This way, you can use your Secret Cap'n Crunch Decoders one more time.
If you lost that somewhere back in the 80's, sorry about that.
I guess you'll have to try holding the monitor up to a candle or a hot lightbulb in order to see the secret message. :)
