I wasn’t allowed to eat cereal as a kid, so I never got any toys.
Regrettably, I only got generics as a kid. Recently, however, since I buy my own cereals now, I picked up a Star Trek USB Wristband from the movie tie-in promo. I wear it every day and keep important files and pics and stuff on it. Its great!
I remember the Trix plastic spoon that changed colors in cold milk.
