I was watching the Today show the other day and there was a segment on "blind boxes," products with mystery collectible items inside. You could get a rare doll or squishy thing depending on the product. During the segment, there was some mention of breakfast cereals having prizes in them this year and I thought I saw some cards. I went to Wal-Mart two days later and found a Family Size box of Apple Jacks advertising Toy Story cards inside.

You get one 2-card cello-pack per box with the cards being 2 3/4 x 3 7/8 inches. It's a 9-card set with images of the card fronts on a side panel of the cereal box.

The Family Size box of Apple Jacks was $5-something. I was in a Safeway and saw that you can get cards but only in the Giant Size Frosted Flakes priced at just under 10 bucks! Ten bucks for a box of cereal? Back in the late 70's, I think a box of Freakies was $3.

Would it kill them to make them standard card size?

Well, it's a whole lot cheaper than the Toy Story 30th Anniversary set from Topps and you get a sweet tooth hit!

You also get 1 card when purchasing a box that contains the character spoons.

Never buy cereal at the grocery store! Target/Walmart are so much cheaper!

This is the one from my box of cereal.
It's Grrrrrr----ate!

Is the Lady Death Chocolate bar an aphrodisiac? My goodness Steven Hughes could draw.

Boxes with the cards are starting to become harder to find. The local Target didn't have any with the spoons either. Safeway has the spoons just with Frosted Flakes now. They were in Apple Jacks, Froot Loops and another one, I think.

I was in a Walmart this morning. You can get cards only in Froot Loops. You can't get the spoons anymore.
