Margalot Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Hi, I was just wondering if any of you had ever won one of those prizes inside a food product? You know like the prize at the bottom of a tub of spread or a £20.00 note in a pack of noodles or gold lid inside a can of beans? I have never been lucky in that respect and just wondered if any one has eaten that bag of lucky crisps?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenNutter Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Nope,not since the days of little plastic things in cereal boxes Oooh! Now you have brought back memories! Can you remember the excitement of those? Perhaps we ought to start an new thread - What is the best plastic toy you ever had in a cereal box. I had a groovy purple hippo once.

Charlottechicken Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I got a £1 cheque from a packet of Walker's crisps, with Gary Linekar's signature on it. Still got it somewhere I had a complete set of Magic Roundabout figurines from cereals in the late 60's/early 70's, they were great (or should that be groovy!) I sold them on ebay a few years ago for over a fiver . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majorbloodnock Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I got a coin in my serving of Christmas Pud once. Does that count? Mind you, I stirred it in in the first place, so the odds weren't too steep... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosey Lucy Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 The nearest I've ever got to a prize was when I found 2 blue packets of salt in a Salt & Shake bag of crisps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrensWorld Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Nope,not since the days of little plastic things in cereal boxes Like the little scuba diver that went up and down in the water filled Tizer bottle when you screwed the bottle top on and off. I think it came in a Corn Flakes packet, but that was a very long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I've never won anything (in a food product or anything else ) I used to love the little plastic aliens that came in Rice Krispies packets, they were ace, got loads of them somewhere ... !!!

Old Speckled Hen Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Nope,not since the days of little plastic things in cereal boxes I had a job for two summers at Nabisco...(home of Shredded Wheat and Shreddies) and on the odd time I was on the collaters putting in these free gifts into the packs as they whizzed by to the gluer (not often as it was an easy job and rank was pulled) I always put extra in hoping some little kiddie would get a nice surprise Sometimes if you put too many in the weight checker would blow the pack off the conveyor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meezers Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Nope,not since the days of little plastic things in cereal boxes When I was a kid I once opened a box of cornflakes where the machine must have had a glitch - there were about a dozen plastic 'gifts' and hardly any cornflakes - I was thrilled, mum less so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
