I like the mini ones with strawberry topping.

I never got them all.<br /><br />Jim. I still think "Nabisco" when I think of shredded wheat.<br />I don't remember the presidential cards, but then I'm afraid my kids were more into Apple Jacks.<br /><br />Chuck, I like the "bite-size," too. As a child, I would take the big old biscuit and crumble it into the bowl-- that's how Daddy did it.<br /><br />Vee, and that may also account for the crumbled state of the biscuits-- someone taking out the cards before the cereal was eaten. Airplane? It's the thought that counts!<br /><br />Shark, that's amazing! I don't think any of my childhood "treasures" survived the many twists and turns my life has taken.vanillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978025976591113499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-11020310581282377792011-10-24T18:51:03.070-04:002011-10-24T18:51:03.070-04:00Love the shredded wheat boxes!

My brother probably collected them :) I also remember saving box tops from another cereal and sending them in with a dime to get an airplane for my brother's birthday. The picture of the airplane almost filled the back of the box. When the plane arrived, two weeks after the birthday, it was about three inches long.

But I do remember when Shredded Wheat was made by Nabisco. It just seems wrong somehow that Post makes them now. <br /><br />In the 1970s, Kellogg's Frosted Mini Wheats gave away little trading cards with photos and facts about every United States President up to that time, so that meant the last card was Gerald Ford. I had a complete set.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-55094889140330185132011-10-24T04:40:29.824-04:002011-10-24T04:40:29.824-04:00Hi Vanilla,

The ones I collected showed how Indians lived.<br /><br />I would eat twice as many servings of shredded wheat just to get to the next card.<br /><br />Do you remember the pins that came in packages of Kellogs Pep? I loved those things.<br /><br />Thanks for sparking some happy memories.<br /><br />John CowartJohn Cowarthttp://www.cowart.info/blog/noreply@blogger.com
