The 90s Kid Guide to When Cereal Was Awesome

Remember when breakfast came with loot?

Color-changing spoons. Wacky straws. Pokémon and Star Wars collectibles. Mini Hot Wheels. Mail-away prizes that took six-to-eight agonizing weeks to arrive. CD-ROM games you somehow got from buying breakfast. And the sacred childhood ritual of shaking the entire box to figure out where the prize was hiding.

This Checkpoint Thursday, Nate's heading back down the cereal aisle to remember when the box was half the fun and to figure out where all that ridiculous stuff went.

Don't want the fun to end after the episode? Then consider this your reminder to Join the Lobby: Come hang out in the Average Joe Nerdcast Discord and tell us the cereal prize you would absolutely lose your mind over finding again.
