Some of it is crap, but I got some nice ceramic mugs awhile back and a nifty little mirror.
The prizes weren't this good when I was young and at least now I can pick and choose exactly what I want..

Awesome maketing! Obscure free stuff is great. Lots of places do it, I don't know why it hasn't caught on in North America that much.

No, cereal is for children or stoners snacking. Those bonuses on your Korean cereal boxes are for big children. Razz

I recommend if anyone finds anything of particular quality or uniqueness they post it here to make sure the group doesn't miss it. Occasionally I get my cereal other places than Emart if I feel lazy..but not if I know there is going to be something extra special taped to the box..

best so far: the kelloggs mugs

Worst: dodgy lion mask from Post corn flakes. far too small (yeah maybe it was meant for a kid but one size should fit all)
