Re: Cereal freebies

Only 8 years late but I can say that these were definitely given away in Shreddies. I collected them all and still have them. I also loved Shreddies so not even a chore unlike Shredded Wheat which was so boring you had to really want the gifts to buy it.

True.. eating shredded wheat is like eating the sharpenings from a pencil

My Dad, Gordon Archer, is the artist behind most of the Weetabix Promotions during the 70's & 80's.

These included the two for Doctor Who, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Asterix, Batman & Wonder Woman, Olympic Games (80 & 84 I think), Flash Gordon and also the Weetabix Gang characters for the first 3-4 years.

That's awesome! Were they the ones with the scenes on the back and the glow in the dark transfers or the cut outs?

Re: Cereal freebies

I remember collecting the 'Back To The Future' choose your own adventure-type books in the mid-'80s. There was a series of six which followed the main plot of the movie, and I think they came free with Shreddies (although I might be wrong about the cereal, it was definitely with a cereal though), I managed to get them all after collecting five and swapping a spare with the missing one from one of my friends. I don't have them now though.

Do you have any more of these? I remember having the complete set, they all sat on a shelf in the kitchen for ages.

Anyone else have a collection of these on their wall?

I remember those animal heads, I'm not sure if I cut any out or not.

Re: Cereal freebies/offers

I remember nagging my mum to buy Golden Nuggets because they had a freebie in them about 1976 I have no idea what it was. She wasn't very happy because well frankly they were bloody horrible and after all the nagging I didn't eat them and neither would my brothers and sister.

For me Golden Nuggets were the best! We weren't allowed them often though.
