Whatever Happened To Great Cereal Toys?

I am not the type of person who buys cereal based on nutritional ingredients. I want high sugar content and toys. The high fructose boxes aren't hard to find, but what the heck happened to the toys? This man needs some morning entertainment!

Something is truly wrong with the world when a grown man can't get a good cereal toy anymore. Post Grape Nuts used to give you a toy tractor trailer!

Did you notice the smile on that boy's face? That's right. Good cereal toy = happy man. Forget about political correctness, give me a Wyatt Earp toy gun like they used to pack in Cheerios and I'm good!

Post Alpha Bits used to pack in a toy lock. This helped prepare my generation for our career as bank robbers.

The most recent cereal I saw in the store with a toy in it was some General Mills thing that had Despicable Me minions that looked like key chains. Yawn.

The less we put good toys in cereal, the more civil unrest we've had. Make the connection. First politician that promises to do something about this travesty gets my vote.
