Remember When?

I miss the days when you could open a box of cereal and get a prize - a real toy. Seems like everything nowadays is just a matter of, "Send $8.99 along with a UPC code and get....." which is not really a prize, it's just something you could probably get in the store anyway and it wouldn't even have the word "Kelloggs" written in huge print on the front of it.

Along these same lines, has anyone else had a box of Cracker Jacks lately? The "prizes" there are even more pitiful. Instead of a secret decoder ring, you get a piece of paper that you can fold in three places and see a monkey walking or some such nonsense. It's a sad state of affairs to be sure.
