Not a food I miss, but let's talk about cereal boxes. I remember the most exciting thing about going grocery shopping was hitting up the cereal aisle and seeing which brand was giving away the best trinket as a prize inside. I would always have to do a cost/benefit analysis on the type of cereal and prize being offered. On one hand, you didn't want to buy a gross cereal because you would have to eat all of it before you got new stuff. On the other hand, there was no way I could convince my mom to get choco-anything. The next morning, opening up the cereal box and digging your little mitts to the bottom of the box trying to find your treasure was magical.
I remember the pinnacle of free cereal box prizes was when some cereal had free Wacky Wall Crawlers. Oh man, that was a BONANZA!
Cereal I miss? C3PO's.
