Here, they're talking about banning all cereal marketing to kids, at least with whatever might be "Unhealthy." So, perhaps it will be goodbye to the last few prizes in the cereal and Cracker Jacks, and Cap'n Crunch may be forced to walk the plank, and the Trix rabbit might be part of a rabbit stew, and Lucky the Leprechaun will have his work permit revoked.

I'd always thought the prizes getting removed from cereal boxes was because the companies were becoming cheap skates. When they removed the toys,you could "make" a toy from a cutout imprinted on the box. When they' stopped that,you could send off for the toy. Then they made you buy more and more boxes to save up the proof of purchase thingies to send off to get your toy. Good lord!!
