  • Cereal prize record tape thing?

    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 )
    Their light of pocket torch, of signal flare,
    Licks at the edge of unsuspected places,
    While others scan, under an arc-lamp's glare,
    Nursery, kitchen sink, or their own faces.
    -Kingsley Amis
