some of the simple things in life are the best
I love sweet breakfast cereal like Fruit Loops and Apple Jacks. I also love 1/64 die cast cars like Hot Wheels, Matchbox, M2, Jonny Lightning, and Green Light. Well what do you get if you mix sweet cereal and die cast? You get some really awesome Hot Wheels. Susan brought me home a really cool Hot Wheels 1970 Chevelle 2 door wagon with Count Chocula graphics on the package and the car. On the back of the package they list all the cars in the series. In the series are a 29 Ford Pickup with Boo Berry, 57 Buick Wagon with Cocoa Puffs, 49 Ford COE with Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Hiway Hauler with Lucky Charms, 51 GMC COE with Honey Nut Cheerios, 70 Chevelle SS wagon with Count Chocula, Custom 77 Dodge Van with Franken Berry, Deco Delivery with Trix, 70's Van with Wheaties. I plan on getting the whole set. Did I say I'm never gonna grow up?

Would be better if they came in the box of cereal. I still choose my cereal by whatever has the best free toy inside. And I'm 36. I choose my beer this way too, even if its not Budweiser. Luckily Budweiser usually has the best free toy inside...

I have at least a dozen free tshirts and a few hats still in the packages. They also have had these USB miniature Stanley Cup's & golf ***** (Bud Light). They almost always have a promo here in Canada. Here's the catch: Beer cost's a fortune in Canada. A 24 is $40! Hardly a trade off. But I guess that's how they can afford these promo's

I'm usually a corn pops cereal kinda guy if I'm going to do cereal.
Also, in tune of cool mini-die cast themes, years ago, Johnny Lightning was matching cars with places on the Monopoly board. They gave you a specially decorated die cast car AND a Monopoly piece of that car. I only have a couple of these. The most important of these is the 3rd gen Camaro I have
And yes, I have actually played Monopoly with the Camaro game piece (also, I have one of these sets unopened in the blister pack too).
