Cereal prize record tape thing?

[Wil]

OK, here's one that my brain's dragged up. I guess it could be me dreaming again but see if anyone remembers:

A 'there's one free in this packet' cereal premium dating from what must be the mid 70s. As far as I remember it was a long red strip with grooves on that you could play like a primitive record. By running it along a pin with a paper funnel (as far as I can remember) you could (barely) hear a very short sound clip.

Sort of like the technology (if you could call it that) in this



Anyone remember them? I can't remember what the sound clips were or what cereal they were linked to.

Could you possibly be referring to 'Talking Tapes'? If so - you can still buy them HERE! I kid you not! (or possibly HERE )

Those links don't work. Try This Link Instead

Fantastic! That's exactly what I mean I was fascinated by the things. Thanks for the link.
