Yes! I had one or more of those back in the day!
Old Enough To Remember?

Or a few bricks short of a load
I once put as many cards as I could fit on my bike. I couldn't get going fast enough to actually ride it.
My mom would get angry when she realized some cards were missing out of the deck. Usually this was discovered during a game.
All I got was a half turn of the pedals at a time and "flap-flap-flap . . . flap-flap-flap . . . flap-flap-flap."

We got these hi tech versions out of cereal boxes back in the day. My dad called them spoke ruiners because we had to straighten out our bent spokes every few weeks.

I used to love these small toys often found in cereal boxes. A small submarine toy that you would put baking soda into and put in water. The sub would sink to the bottom and as the baking soda got wet it would produce gas that caused the sub to retunr to the surface where the gas would release and it would sink down again and repeat its journey. They also made small scuba divers that did the same thing.

Had a couple of those.
I'm reminded now that I appreciate the way this thread was titled... "Old enough to remember?" and NOT "Too old to remember?"
A good distinction.

Remember those. Life was a lot simpler then. Many hours of fun with simpler things!I used to love these small toys often found in cereal boxes.

One of the very few companies to continue making a profit during the Great Depression. Until then 10¢ beers edged out 10¢ Good Humor bars. During the Depression . . . beer sales declined in favor of Good Humor bars.
