Wow!.Forgot about these subs until I came across this thread.I had a grey coloured one.Assuming it must of been either a freeby from a cerial packet offer or from a promotion through a comic at the time.Can also remember the little divers.Have a feeling when I ran out of the tablets I started to fill it with baking powder or the likes of.
I remember the plastic diver, it had a hole in the back which held a bubble when immersed in water. The diver was then placed in a bottle full of water. the cap was screwed on and when tightened, the diver would descend & when untightened, rise up. The trick was to find the position where the diver would remain stationary. simple pleasures.

I just noticed - the big sub in the $1 pack is exactly the same sub as the one for $3.99. Rip off!
