If you have the time, take a little trip down memory lane with me; to a time gone by when Saturday morning cartoons were still happening, and you had a brand-new box of cereal waiting for you in the kitchen cabinet.

You reach for the box and immediately your eyes are drawn to the graphics describing what you'll find inside of it.  The coveted toy.  Yes, cereal used to come with toys.  All sorts of them, even records.  And now, those good times are returning, and my spoon is shaking with anticipation.

The WK Kellog Company is hoping to recapture some of those nostalgic moments with the return of toys in special edition boxes of assorted cereals, including Apple Jacks, Fruit Loops, Frosted Flakes and more.  The new promotion is part of the collaboration with the new movie Toy Story 5.

Cereals Will Feature Toys of Characters from Toy Story Movie Sequel

The company's partnership with the movie will feature toys in select cereals from the characters being portrayed.  The goal according to Kellog is to reintroduce the tradition for a new generation and bring back "screen free moments of discovery" in kids.

Thinking back on growing up in the 70's and 80's, I can't wait for this little piece of nostalgia to get back on grocery stores in Great Falls.  And just the same, I can't wait to load up some old Captain Caveman cartoons and kick back.  Elbow deep in cereal.
