Too true too true...

This comment just makes me realise how easily pleased I still am as an adult.

Im sorry but if you had TWENTY you were NOT easily pleased 😭😭😭

You think buying 20 boxes of cereal is an insane number over a year or two?

​@@rafacatitoYeah, kids eat cereal

Oh man, I'm so glad it wasn't just me that saw that.

Once you see it , you can’t unsee it

Oh god I did too! I also always thought it was “mummy” not “yummy” 🤯

We he said "he" I was like, he? I as well thought it was a girl with pony tails. It wasn't until his pronoun that got me looking again lol.

Same here

oh god it reminds me of way back when McDonalds had FIFA in their Happy Meals. No idea what year it was. 2000, 2001? I think they had some kind of eagle/gryphon mascot at that time. edit because i actually managed to find it. The mascot was from 1998, it was a rooster named Footix and it was the mascot of France. McDonalds had toys themed around it too and after googling it, i recall having a kite. I still have to try and remember that CD. I was only 7 at that time so my memory is foggy.

oh boy you made me think of chex quest, that one doom clone that came with chex cerial in the 90s with a free sequel on their site, and got ANOTHER sequel in 2008 due to the popularity

omg same! getting a free putt putt saves the zoo and spy fox CD games made my day back then lol

I got Amazon Trail like this. It crashed a lot but I loved it

I played every hard mode on that game and its the easiest thing ever

I got a little submarine like that around 1991 it was my favorite

Had them in the 80s they didn't do shit

@@theamertureradioenthusiast3368 i had the diver and sub would have been around 1985

They may have reissued them later on. I remember getting one and watching Thundercats. I'm sure it was 86. They didn't work like they did on the advert but they were still cool.

Had those in the 50's too = clever stuff !

Oddly, the potato-shaped mascot for Tayto chips is named Bryce Dallas Howard (no relation)

@@Electroporcupine both tayto north and south have the same name, and both copy righted it. So they're unable to trade across the border.

Cornelius the Cock

Galactic Gamer oh god

Spot on, thank you! Yeah the Benny Hill sidekick with the frankly strange facial expressions...

I remember it being "tell them about the honey mummy" when I was a kid in the 90s, so they must have changed back to the superior slogan, possibly following an angry backlash from sugar puffs fans

Benny used to slap the head off that bald fella. I wonder did he ever retaliate and stitch benny one. Just keep loafing him until they had to be separated. Anyway just a thought

hey its actual Mentski and not subliminal message image Mentski! Hey Mentsk thanks for info !

And there was I thinking it was " proof" of the (cue spooky music) 🎼Mandela Effect🎵

damn it i thought that was a dream

aha aw i was hoping it was red dragon

Lying for attention aren't you. Didn't work did it

yo me too wow

I thought I was getting a little too drunk

Yes me too!!! Is it wrong that it was my brains go-to image and not the bomber jacket monster?

I can’t see what you’re seeing

I think I was expecting the bird girl from McDonald's because of the jacket

Yeah... The story behind the making of that movie is kind of tragic. The artist ran out of money and support, so the studio just jammed a bunch of pop culture references and Aladdin knock-off stuff to fill the run time and shipped it off to theaters. Originally there was supposed to be ZERO dialogue in the movie. I've been told there's a fan re-cut that follows the original screenplay called "The re-cobbled cut" that's supposed to be about as close to the artist's vision as is possible with what exists, might be worth a watch if you can track it down online.

god this is sooo late but I absolutely recommend checking out the recobbled cut of the Thief and the Cobbler! I've seen it here on youtube and the animation of it is of course, absolutely stunning and a trip at the same time. It really is just a joy to watch even if just for the animation alone!

Chex Quest!

chex quest is the shit. mom wouldn't let me play doom cause it was "too violent" but chex quest was totally fine.

Chex Quest literally used the Doom engine; it wasn't just a copycat.

I was SO disappointed that Chex Quest wasn't mentioned in the video, because that's about the most nostalgic toy I've ever gotten in a cereal box. I've also played it recently, and the sequels, and the unofficial sequel made by I think one of the original devs. ... It's late, and I need to go to bed, but I'm going to play it again tomorrow. Today. When I wake up.

Never going to forget Chex Quest

Me too. We were generally a cornflakes household but clearly must have gone over to the darkside on at least one occasion because those cards gave me the old nostalgic shiver.

@toomanycables996 when you replied to my post here you unearthed deep memories that I had forgotten about for about 3 years. Thank you. ;)

1:20 Emjoi movie is bad...but 30% less sugar? Can kids even eat that with so little sugar? bleech...

@@kruleworld Probably because of the Sugar Tax the UK Gov. introduced a couple years ago.

@@enragedlemon3115 it's why they were founded.

My question is, why are they having a drawing for a prize associated with a 4 year old box office bomb?

@@OtakuUnitedStudio this video was probably filmed a whole ass long time ago.

It's exactly an example of why I love him so much. That could have been cut out so easily, but he just left it, and it's the funniest thing.

I wouldn’t know

I loved them, the color spoons.

and some of those were genuinely good, like chex quest.

The spoons were some of my favourite prizes ever in ceeal boxes.

The spoons were brilliant. I used to have a Frankenstein's monster one that changed from green to yellow and somehow got slightly stuck eventually so by the end it never quite changed all the way back. It was probably starting to break down chemically and slowly poisoning me. Still cool though.

2002 Kellogs Frenzy Football anyone?

@@MinaF99 if the total volume of something falls by 30%, so do the individual components of it.

@@MinaF99 haha, yes it would...

Not per serving (unless they reduce serving size too to make servings per container match), but the total sugar content of the package would totally decrease by the amount of product they exclude from the package. Here's an example to simplify the concept. Take a 100 unit package that has 10 units of sugar. That's 1 unit of sugar per 10 units of product. Now you take half that product out so it's just a 50 unit package. How much sugar do you have now? Since you have 1 unit of sugar per 10 of product and now have 50 units of product, you have 5 units of sugar, 50% reduced.

Stonks!

I think I've seen it with a cereal bar. They just made the bar smaller. Also Mr. Kipling's angel slices have a reduced sugar option where they just remove most of the icing.

iamdb1990 R/MadLads

Funny

laddest mad lad mad

no that's a madness song

Same, ended up with dozens

We had drawers at our house.

I remember those yo-yos were a "fad" when I was in high school one year. There was even a guy invited in to perform tricks with them. I had Fanta, Coke and Sprite yo-yos. I remember the gold ones were much sought after.

Yep coke yoyos where a thing in my school to

It might just be my mind but a Coke yoyo sounds like some sort of strange drug paraphernalia.

Those yoyos to those day are huge collectors items I remember having a Sprite one and my brother had a fanta one growing up. It was like the must have thing to have for ages.

Amazing! Nowadays they won't sell to kids, and you just get a baggie of cocaine.

I got a lightsaber spoon in a box once as well. It was awesome.

Me too!

Hoooooooly fuck. I did too. I thought it was a yogurt thing, though. I definitely remember eating Jar Jar flavoured yogurt.

Deep parts of my memory has been accessed

AND THEY LIT UP. DO NOT FORGET THE BEST PART LOL. I wonder if i still have them in like the back of the silverware drawer

No but I remember some photo to 3D avatar software with a shitty football (soccer) game. FaceMask3D. You could make the resultant disembodied headndpeak via TTS, like a discount Max Headroom.

Do you work for an investment bank now?

You should try insurance fraud

I was a smart kid 🤣🤣

Genius!!

That's a brilliant and also very evil scheme.

Because clients like Steam, GoG, Epic Games Store, etc. have eliminated the need for physical media to distribute games.

The most I remember is those Kidz Bop CDs from McDonalds long ago.

@@damian9303 Lol same

Being someone who already never has to leave my home. Not having time is a concept I've never delt with.

Same here man.

Pretty sure that they actually say that on the boxes

I remember the name Cornelius from the movie Planet of the Apes.

Frosted Flakes sounds like something a supermarket makes up for their rip off.

@@MuchWhittering oh, it is. Since it’s just two normal (and descriptive) words, store brands basically just copy the name and it’s totally fine.

Mine didn't work

@@OtakuUnitedStudio 😢

What did that do again? I know I used it

Was is like a $25 box of cereal?

Mild shame he did add the weirder bits in, like the use of metal rods.

ChexQuest? That game was awesome.

@@MontieMongoose I played the Freddy fish game 😂 I adored that damn old game. One of the games was when you could decorate your own fish making a mug shot for them.

I remember those too. We got an Operation game from some Cheerios once. And I think a veterinarian-like game for kids, Chutes and Ladders, and a demo for Monkey Island III.

@@Silver_wind_1987_ My little sister adored that one and played it many times over. We also got it from a cereal box!

@@22kaybee22 it was enjoyable heck I still have the disk 😂 the game is alot of fun and good for learning minds.

omg id forgot all about them , thanks for the memory refresh

Free coasters in the mail lmao

The redpill behind those is that 99% of those hours were spent waiting for websites to load AOL really was horrible back in its day

@@smirage22 i stuck a sticker over the hole and formatted and reused them on my amiga....

Lmao 56k at it's best

I stocked up with the virus going around, I wouldn't want to run out of internet

"Tell 'em about the Brexit agenda, transgender."

So that’s why you don’t see sugar puff adverts on tv anymore!

@@chefexcellence322 So it's like with Pooh and the president of China?

@@chefexcellence322 An excellent theory.

That's really insulting. Poor honey monster, comparing him to that ugly oaf.

Remember those squares with the holes punched in them and the plastic tubes that connected them together? The tubes were all pleated like the bendy part of a drinking straw. Damn, I had loads of those.

I remember one toy from Mc D's was a cassette tape of some Halloween themed related things on it. I believe there was a number of them.

I have the whole set. Wish Mc.Donalds would release a new set of em. Possibly based on an anime of some kind or an Adult Swim show for a change of pace. Not that often do we get those in the fast food restaurants stateside let alone having ones sell proper premium glassware. Etched glass rules.

My favorite McDonald's toys were the Inspector Gadget ones. Those were so damn cool, way better than the film abomination they were promoting.

Yeah, in a logical world using a snippet of a song or video for demonstrative purposes would very obviously fall under fair use, but KZfaq fired their Logic Department a long time ago. What's worse is that shitty companies can easily abuse this copy"right" in several ways. If someone posts a negative review of a song/film/TV show they own the rights to and the KZfaqr includes pieces of the media in question, the company can retaliate by having it removed or at least inconvenience the KZfaqr with lawsuit threats, demonetization etc. And that's another thing, shitty companies can and will try to extort money out of KZfaqrs for "misusing" their copyrighted content. I actually saw this happen to a KZfaq channel a while back, because get this, some online company had bought the rights to a lot of viral videos. So basically, some random ordinary people posts a video on their Facebook or whatever that gets very popular, and this company reaches out to them and says "Hey, what if we were to purchase the rights to your cool video about the thing? You get a nice payment from us, _and_ we'll help you share it with news outlets and such." And the innocent (and clueless) average Joes says "Sure, that sounds like a win-win." So they buy the rights to these videos, and then they have their -slaves- staff go through channels that review viral content to search for content that "belongs" to the company, so that Shit Inc can claim compensation for "stolen content". I know this because the channel they were targeting showed the emails/letters it had gotten. Shit Inc had found 4 "violations" and were asking for... (dramatic pause) *1500 dollars* for each of them, $6000 in total. Shit Inc provided enough information to prove that they "owned" some videos, but conveniently left out the part of what clips belonged to them and what videos from the YT channel the clips were in, making it practically impossible for a channel with a "staff" of 2 people to just find and remove those teeny tiny clips from their videos and reupload. Luckily the fans of the channel came to their rescue, they harassed Shit Inc on all their online platforms, got in touch with lawyers, notified larger and louder KZfaq channels, and the shitshow was rather promptly resolved. *TL:DR* - Shitty companies have the ability to use the copyright strike as a tactical nuke on KZfaq channels and content creators, using it to silence problematic voices and extort (sometimes vulnerable) KZfaq people for money.

I doubt youtube would recognize it let alone flag it.

Stuart was doing this before even KZfaq became that strict about copyrights. I think it started as kind of a joke but the whole thing became reality a few years later.

I mean, I was really hoping to pirate this song by downloading this video and ripping the audio off a cereal box record. Crap.

@@MegaVikingen Keep in mind, Ashens is in the UK and Fair Use is a US copyright thing. And while KZfaq generously applies US copyright to all of the content, that doesn't have to go for the individual rights holders.

Add the word "night" behind wedding for extra realism.

that's why i gave mine a wedding ring i bought out of a vending machine. still paid too much for it.

Alrighty then!

I wonder if they came back in the 1980s, because I know I've played with something just like that when I was young, but I wasn't alive in the 70s.

I think they had them in Frosted Flakes during the '90s.

I had an orange submarine from Capn Crunch. It had to be mid 80s. Probably '86.

I know it was early for me as we were living with grandparents(69 70) while my parents were buying our house but it was such a popular toy I know they came out again as my son got one in the 90s. Along with a different boat that used little balloon as the engine I totally forgot about those. I think there was a third form he collected too that had a rubber band that wound up a propeller And i am sure it was capt crunch. Lol. Only cereal my son would eat. He loved that stuff.

I believe that was so you could also put them on your schoolbag or coat - so you'd be less likely to get run over while walking to/from school in the winter. It tied in with the government's "Be Seen, Be Safe" campaign.

In Germany the flexi-discs came mostly with magazines- I recently found a christmas themed one

i think i actually still have the mcdonalds contest song record they gave away around somewhere in a box, it was one of the little flexible records like those that was handed out at some point as part of a promotion.

how do you.... play a square record

@@EmilyStell Ir's like funny shaped CDs you could sometimes get. The actual grooves are still circular (or close enough to it not to throw off the needle) and the outer parts of the shape have no grooves on them.

I had a Ghostbusters promo flexi from a cereal box here in US. It was just an ad with some announcer and one of the voice actors from the cartoon. Very dissappointing.

Yes!! I still have a couple of these, the Obi-Wan Kenobi one is sitting on my bookcase 😆

I just posted the same thing! Lol had them in several colors.

Yep! I had a couple of them. I remember getting them to sorta kinda work, slightly but that was about it.

I had one of those subs and a diver that did that too. Had a lump of lead in it to keep it down and bubbles came from it. ... lead! Unthinkable now 😁

@@natgrant1364 Yeah, I had the boats with baking soda. Barely worked.

Our chemistry teacher used one of those submarines to demonstrate the properties of caesium. The submarine caught fire and melted.

Lucky. Wish I could stay home. Really surprised they're letting the food places stay open. It's crazy how many people will risk their lives just so they don't have to cook for themselves.

It's 2020, and people still feel the need to act like you can't spend a couple of weeks in your own home without getting insanely bored. Like, do none of you people have phones? Or laptops? Or game consoles? Or books? Or work to do? Or literally anything else? IDK I just find that most people who're bringing up their "boring self-isolation" arbitrarily on videos are doing it as an announcement for no real reason Like, "hey guys, look at me, I'm in self-isolation! Ain't I being all pandemic-y!". If you're in self-isolation you're supposed to be doing your usual routine, but from home, anyway, particularly getting work done. I thought that was kinda the point? So why's everyone doing the "boring quarantine shtick"?

@@alanira2971 True. I'm just sick of seeing arbitrary comments about the pandemic & quarantine on literally every damn video I click on. Like, yeah okay, a viral outbreak is going on and normality's gone out of the window for at least a month or so, I get it. I don't feel like being reminded of the fact that coronavirus exists and that the world is on lock down when I'm just trying to enjoy myself on youtube, everywhere I go, thanks.

@man0z we don't need people spreading this virus so its best to stay home and be as safe as possible

@@Nytephyre lmao you're not "risking your life" by going out and buying food, as long as you act sensible about it. The way that people are acting like the world outside their front door step is full of toxic air is ludicrous. The coronavirus is not airborne, you know, and you're incredibly safe from contracting it on a trip to get necessities as long as you don't act like a total moron and ignore all safety precautions while doing it. In all honesty, people being overly melodramatic (and generally misinformed) is becoming the biggest problem with this entire pandemic. It's scaring me more than the actual virus is at this stage. If anything is going to ultimately lead to a collapse of civilisation as a whole, it's going to to be from the entire world going through self-inflicted hysteria, more so a result of the actual outbreak.

Those were the best, I had Amazon/Oregan Trails and a Lego city builder. 1996-'97, what a time to be alive

According to Mentski, it is "Mummy." He's the top comment, so the information should be easy to find.

@@Chaos89P You can also find the ads quite easily. I had never even heard of the slogan before and found it quite easily, because I was suspicious of the grammar.

Dr Who too :)

Ho boy, I think I'd outgrown cereal box toys by then!

What a 42 carot plonker you really are rodney!

Those Figures base size was perfect to use with the Hero Quest Boardgame.
