I remember the days when you opened up a new box of breakfast cereal, and you could always count on an awesome toy waiting for you inside the box, it was one of the best parts of cereal, besides the massive amounts of sugar of course. Gone are the race cars, no more toys in breakfast cereals, just detailed nutrition facts. Sure sometimes there is still a game on the back of the box but lets be honest, those mazes are easy, and no one ever does the word scrambles. Thats why I was excited today when I opened up my box of Frosted Mini-Wheats and found a little treasure waiting for me inside the box:

Thats right, my very own light up star fleet insignia, referred to by the box as a "Beam-up Badge". There are so many awesome things about this thing, first off, you dont mail in, it comes straight in the box, secondly its shiny, and who doesnt like shiny plastic, and lastly, its a flashlight that you can shine in someones eyes to blind them! I can't remember the last time something so awesome came in my cereal! Well actually it was about a year ago, (light up Indiana Jones adventure spoon) So I ask you, edge gamers, what is the coolest cereal toy you have ever gotten?

PS: If you are wondering, I got the starfleet engineering badge!
 
Wait, those were prizes?!
I thought they were special tasty pieces of cereal that were specifically put in for your eating enjoyment! :O
I better go get my stomach pumped...
 
Those were the days, now i eat cereal half asleep in the morning
 
Cereal isnt the only thing of your childhood that has been ruined, almost everything i loved when i was young has been commercialized, to the point where its not even worth purchasing.

Heres a great example:

QFT




however. that is all kinds of awesome!
i thought you were just being retarded (as usual) in the shoutbox. i didn't relize you had an actual star fleet insignia!!!

/envy!!!!!!!!
 
The lightsaber spoons were pretty ridiculous(ly cool). They were Star wars which i like better than Star trek... but they weren't shiny :(
 
Dude. Star Trek beam up badge!?!?!? I'm jealous. I really don't remember any good cereal toys from when I was a kid but then again, getting any name brand cereal was a special treat for me as a kid. All that comes to mind is maybe a Cap'n Crunch Submarine diver or a crazy straw.
 
I am totally getting like 20 boxes. THATS RIGHT ima collect me sum toyz!
