does anyone remember getting records 45's on cereal boxes. I sure do in 68-69 I was 13 or so and got Jackson 5 the archies and donny Osmond yeah Donny Osmond. The cereal was alpha bits I think. Seen at the store and begged my mom to buy it .

Searching in some of the deeper corners of my memory banks, yes, I do recall Alpha Bits records. And, yes, I do believe the Jackson 5 were among the collections. :)
Are we showing our age here or what?! LOL :silly:
-
Not silly, I remember them. We may being showing our age but they were good times back then
-
Things really have gone downhill. I never got records but I remember getting silly but durable toys in cereal boxes and Happy Meals. Today they just stink and fall apart.

I vaguely remember 45s on cereal boxes.... seems so familiar
There used to be some good stuff in cereal, Me & my siblings would have to rotate the prize & take turns who got it.
The cereal I get doesn't have any prizes in them... is that discontinued?
-
i think i remember those! and i may have some in storage still !! i may have to look about those --thanks for reminding me of them
-
my cousin gave me one when I was 10. It didn't play very well.

Yes, I remember Alpha Bits 45s! I also remember going into Sears and buying from their 45 rack! 45s were the name of the game, at least for girls my age, at the time! Donny Osmond, the Jackson 5, the Monkees, Bobby Sherman, the Partridge Family, oh my! I tell my kids about 45 records and 33 albums, and they kind of look at me like I'm from outer space, LOL! :in-love:
-
No idea of what that is.... but i loved reading and learning about that!!! Thank you all for sharing your memories! :in-love: :party:
-
I don’t think I ever got any. Those might’ve been phased out by the time I had been born (in 1984).
-
Wow, I think that was before my time. I do remember toys in cereal, though.
-
I remember 45's on cereal boxes...we sure had some groovy stuff back in the day LOL :peace: :peace: :peace:
-
Didn't some of the records came in colors, my memories maybe a blurrrr

You need a trip down memory lane !! Lookie what I found a picture of !
-
These were way before my time. Frankly, I didn't even know it was a thing. I thought toys in cereal had always been cheap plastic things. I guess that shows my age.
-
I remember getting all sorts of prizes in cereal boxes. I really do miss those

And Cracker Jacks Toy Prizes , good stuff !!
-
I didn't remember that until you mentioned it .. I have a vague recollection of it as I was only 9 or 10.
-
I can remember getting all kinds of stuff in cereal boxes!
-
WOW! You mean something other than cheap plastic and now some sort of pressed cardboard for prizes in cereal boxes was a thing. That's cool. It would be awesome if they music in there for kids these days.... MP3 codes... or codes to earn a FREE player of sorts. I remember having soap with bubble gum machine sized plastic domes in them. There were tiny little figures inside. Soaps were shaped like whales...a lion...can't remember the other shapes. It was awful for my skin though. Itched and itched for days to get to those stupid little figures.

I don't have any clear memories of the records as prizes in or on Cereal boxes.
However, I do remember that when we did get a cereal box that had a prize inside, Mom wanted us kids to wait until the cereal was gone before claiming the prize.
We sometimes didn't follow her wishes.....we dumped the whole box of cereal out into big bowls and got the prize first off, then put the cereal back in the box.

I sort of remember them. I remember too that you could save box tops and get toy.
-
I don't remember the 45s on the cereal boxes but I remember buying 45s and getting the prizes inside the cereal boxes. Of course I never liked the cereal but I liked the prize inside. :rainbow: :peace: :snowflake: :wave:
-
Nope wasn't around for that. I remember getting little toys and stickers.
-
I remember those too! I can't remember the names of any I got but I sure remember being amazed they could put them on a cereal box. I have quite an album collection and did have a bunch of 45's until last year when I got rid of them. Now they seem to be making a comeback and I wish I had kept them. One of our grandkids got a record player for Christmas! He'd love to have my old 45's but I've already told his mother she could have my albums. Hopefully she'll pass them on to him.
-
I do vaguely remember that. We had a Jackson 5 45 that I know we would not have bought. Had to come from one of the cereal boxes.
-
Wow! What a nostalgic memory! I wasn't born yet but I do remember something like that in the late 70's I think...lol
-
Wow! I forgot all about those. I was having my kids back then.
I go back further to when there were little prizes in cereal....like in Cracker Jack.
Do they still make that? I don't have the teeth for pop corn any more, but was fun, and prizes in Shredded Wheat....they were cool
Ah, the old days. So much simpler back then.
:rose:

Yep I am getting old, my boys would always want the cereal with the records on them. Those were the days. Of course living 90 miles from a big grocery store I always bought one for each of the boys. In fact they are still in storage. I think I will give them too their step brother and sister. One more thing taken care .
-
I do remember records being on the cereal boxes. They were cardboard and didn't have very good sound quality, but as kids we didn't care.
-
Cracker Jack ruined our teeth giving us cavities.
We loved the tiny prizes inside those boxes.

no
