Who recalls toys in cereal packets?

Star Wars (or maybe Empire Strikes Back?) transfers inside Shreddies (I think), with a scene on the back of the pack for you to complete. Caused major fights in my house...
EDIT: Should have realised there'd be a site out there: Star Wars transfers

When Kinder eggs first came out they had really cool toys. Little cars and bikes with friction engines that you had to assemble. Brilliant so they were.

Slightly (massively) OT, but does anyone remember the furore a few Xmases ago when some joker at a cracker factoryreplaced the jokes with messages readind, "you are a fat c***"? And other suchlike sentiments.
I hadn't heard that, but it IS funny.
Thanks for the chuckle...

who recalls toy in cereal? I guess that would either be the manufacturer or trading standards but I don't think many were that dangerous.

Oh yes.
Shrinky-Dinks, the plastic native-American busts, iron-on patches, and the holographic/2-D pictures are all sounding familiar.
Thanks, you guys, for reminding me.
If I'm right, some brands may also have offered plastic soccer figurines, frozen in an 'action' pose, e.g. a striker unleashing a powerful shot on goal, the ball just attached to his toecap and no more.That aside, there's been some funny stuff written here, causing me to LOL and giggle heartily in a cafe. The 'tuppence' stuff - that's priceless.
A 'rad to the max' Cornflakes chicken - daftness and genius combined.
Wombat's info about Tom Good's career before becoming self-sufficient - I never knew that, and I'm rather impressed to learn it.Thanks one and all.

FFS It wasn't "tuppence" in the Xmas pud - there was no such coin!
It was "sixpence" or, more likely, a "sixpenny bit" or a "sixpenny piece"
Who now remembers a "thru'penny bit"? (A coin worth three pennies)
Or a "ha'penny" (pronounced hay-penny) for a coin worth half a penny.
Or a florin?
Or a guinea?
Or a half-crown?
Or a shilling?
Or a ten-bob note?
Or the bloody farthing?
We've dumbed down the currency and the litle darlings still can't add up properly
