Getting a free toy or piece of tat in a cereal box was a common occurrence right up until the 2010s, bringing joy to many children.
Most Liverpool families will remember unboxing various items over the years, and while some were fun toys, others were useless tat that was dumped in the bin within minutes. The ECHO has looked back at some of the most iconic cereal toys and tat from across the decades that came in boxes of Cornflakes, Coco Pops, Ricicles, Frosties and more.
Whether you were a child who excitedly ripped open the box to see what was inside, or a parent who rolled their eyes at another cheap plastic toy to add to the draw full of clutter, you're bound to remember some of the freebies mentioned below. The list includes images from Cereal Offers, a website all about cereal toys and promotions, which is ran by Nick who also owns the YouTube channel cerealmad.
