Not too long ago, we were all wandering aimlessly down the cereal aisle at the grocery store. Oh how I wish there were just 10 kinds to choose from, but that’s a rant for another day. Scanning over the five-thousand selections of cereals, one caught my eye. Usually, the ones that catch my eye are on the tippity top, you know, really far out of reach for normal people. That’s where the healthy stuff is.
Not this one.
This box was right at Chickeymonkey’s height, about 3 feet, second row up. I saw it and looked away quickly, frosted marshmallows in milk! IEW! Oh but the box is SO DANG CUTE. I wanted the box. Really. But for $4 a box? I’ll pass.
Just then, however, Chick saw the box. Immediately she pointed at it, looked up at Daddy and asked for “those! I want those!” Daddy said no, knowing how I like the kids to have cereal sans frosted marshmallows. But no, I had to pipe up “but Daaaaaddyyyyy, I want those toooooooo”! And with that, he threw a box in the cart. There. Me, and mini-me, we’re happy campers. We are now the proud new owners of Finding Nemo Cereal. WOOHOO!
I had to hold the box. I admired the beautiful graphics and flipped the box over. A contest! Yeah. Win a sleepover in the Disney Castle. Uh huh. I wish. Whatever. Here’s some wobblers, too, oh how cool. Only 1000 sets? Okay. Yeah. Well, it’s a nice box!
We added the box to our collection of cereals (seriously, how many do you have to choose from? We have like 5 boxes at all times. LOL) – the next morning of course we HAD TO HAVE THOSE FOR BREAKFAST, MOMMY!
Fine. I opened the box. Poured the cereal. Double checked to be sure we were instant losers of both fantabulous prizes, and wouldn’t you know it?
WE WON!!! We won this rockin’ cool set of Disney Wobblers from Kellogg’s!
This is like the fist thing I think I’ve ever won. All because of a pretty box.
Now I’m sitting here, staring at this SO VERY COOL WOBBLERS, and I WANT TO PLAY WITH THEM! Should I? Dare I take them out of the plastic and wobble them around a bit? Only 1,000 sets made… they’re worth $17 each as is…. ARRRGHH! What do I do?!?!
I feel like a kid in a candy store. There’s even a Bambi, and a Thumper! YAY ME! :yahoo:

I love Disney, most especially Mickey. I would save it as a set.
$17 for the set right? But still that’s pretty good. If they are kept new and as a set, they will be very rare.
Wait 20 years. Then sell ’em on Ebay. :giggle:
TOO COOL!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! :yahoo: If it was me, I’d be puttin it away and savin it for the kids…. college ya know… uh-huh. :winking: Do what ya think best!!
WOOOHOOO!!! Those are too cool!
But don’t open um. Put them in a glass box so everyone can view them, but do NOT open!!! Congrats!!:grin:
That is soooo cute. Congratulations! 😀
i want to see the box:bawling: wheres the box? :bawling:
what was so pretty about the box?
I shop at Henrys so theres only healthy cereal to choose from. I wanna see the box:bawling:
and congrat on winning, thats so cool :dance:
Holy crap those look so cool!!! I totally understand why you feel like you’re a kid in a candy store. All of those wobbly things are so bright, colorful and shiny!
So… does this mean that the whole box of Wobbles were in the cereal box? I’m impressed!! Just how big was it?
Life is way too short. Take ’em out, play with them and play with your kids with them. Playtime is precious. Makes me want to tell my kids next time they don’t have to pick one of the cereals in the bag, just to save $2.00. Sending you hugs today, clara
I would recomend playing with them with your kids and then when they outgrow them put them away and break them out when they are feeling nostalgic, like maybe when they have kids. Your grandkids can come over and rummage through all of “Grama’s toys”. I always did that with my grandma, she had a dresser full of all her kids toys and dress up jewelry.
Hooray for you!! They sure are a pretty lot.:yahoo:
I wonder what they would go for on ebay?
Finding Nemo Cereal
They still had it! I picked up another box tonight JUST so I could keep it. I searched all over the internet for an image of Finding Nemo Cereal with Bruce on it – it does NOT EXIST. Well. It does now! Isn’t it wicked? I am in love with …
Folks are selling the Wobblers individually for a few bucks on ebay, and they’re selling the sets for around $30. Heck – even the empty boxes are selling for 3-4 bucks each!
I think we’re going to have to play with them. :cheerful:
Yes! Play with them. Enjoy them with your kids. Like Clara said, “Life is too short…Playtime is precious.” I totally agree.
Congratulations!
P.S. Do you seriously have 5 boxes at all times? I’m lucky if I can keep a box longer than a day here!
GET OUT! You won those? Congrats!
My husband and I have been debating paying the $30 to buy them for us…*cough*…I mean, our daughters for Christmas. We have about 6 of them – 2 are duplicates.
