Wow, that's actually really cool. I'm a child of the 70's and don't ever remember seeing any records on the cereal boxes but I do remember all the sugary cereals having toys, stickers or candy in them!...
OMG!!! I had those too! I think the cereal was "Honeycomb" Now that I'm 63yrs old...I remember we had the best cereal prizes ever! Thanks for sharing an old memory with us. Stay Gold!
You'd be 64 by now (I'll be 69 next month 😮) and I, too, remember all the neat toys they offered in cereal. Nothing like a little targeted marketing, lol. But I loved all that crap. Definitely remember the records, though I can't remember what cereal brand(s?) had them.
Really amazing that it’s just plastic coated paper and some wires and some other electronic components that produces the sound. That’s nothing short of a miracle in my book.
OMG! I'd forgotten about these! I remember hounding my mom to buy cereal as a kid! Just for the stuff in the boxes! Also cracker jacks, used to buy Bazooka bubble gum for the comic strips inside, and I can't remember what had the lick and stick tattoo looking pictures, but it was such fun! Oh, and the small planes you had to assemble and press the little weighted piece on the nose! Good God this sure brings back memories!!!!
As a 70's kid, I remember a couple of cardboard records from Post Alpha Bits cereal. One had some kind of spooky story, as I was expecting by the artwork. Another one was a Sci-Fi story about some mysterious trailer from outer space. It kinda sucks that they don't last long because, ya know, we were kids and would not handle such stuff carefully. I wonder how they'll make a comeback due to vinyl records being popular again.
I remember these. Aww. Thanks for thr the nostalgic walk down memory lane. I'm glad you had the foresight to glue two recordings together. That was awesome. Thank you.
The music on those records were the songs you would hear on the radio. They were of the hits. In some cases ( The Jackson Five, The Archies, Kiss ) there were also album tracks used made famous through their cartoons.
I think the only one I ever got was the Bobby Sherman record. I think the song was "It Boggles The Mind" which I don't think was ever a hit, and I don't remember anything else about it.
Yes, Bobby Sherman too! Let me think... 🤔... "Easy Come, Easy Go" if memory serves. 😃 I might even have one of The Monkees. Aside from the Archies song playing in the video, I can't think of any others, but I've had them for decades.
Keith, I regard these as the best prize in a cereal ever. I collected all the Jackson 5 that came on the back of Alphabits back in the 70's. Long gone unfortunately.
This brings back so many childhood memories my mom would/use buy the cereal(s) with those records on the box for my sisters and I back in the 1960's and early 1970's we would play them until we couldn't play them any longer yes we wore them out and yes my sisters and and we're all born in the 1960's
I remember about 40 years ago buying magazines with the floppy paper thin one sided discs that you could play on most record players, and the quality was very good, I'd say as good as a normal vinyl record.
@@jhutt8002 at the time they sounded decent enough, they have probably d graded now, but I remember that we placed it on a flat wooden plate with a hole drilled in the middle then they were perfectly flat, no wobble to it and they didn't scratch easily. They worked better with a lighter stylus aswell. The heavier ones would of scratched through the thin plastic I reckon.
Yes, in "Smash Hits" pulp pop magazine in the seventies. I had a Slade floppy single and Lieutenant Pigeon " moldy old dough" amongst other records included in the magazine.
@@CdEmm50 yesi think some of mine came from 80s smash hits magazines. I even got some vinyl floppy records from computer magazines to use with commodore/spectrum computers, which was a bit pointless because to use them, unless you had a way of hooking your record player to your computer, you had to copy them to a tape to use. Think they just did it as a gimmick to be honest. Buti do have fond memories of saving up my 50p pocket money and not buying sweets etc because I wanted the magazine with the record on it.
Seriously? They didn't do cool stuff like that when I was growing up in the 1980's and 1990's. This is awesome they had this stuff on cereal boxes!!! They need to bring this back just for me!!
Archie, Veronica, Betty and Jug Head-“The Archie’s”! A favorite cartoon. Nice turntable, too. Thank you for sharing. Memories and nostalgia of times gone past are priceless, especially compared to today’s.
Flashback to starting school and the joi d'vie at the end of the 1960s/beginning of the 1970s, way back when the term "flasback" was invented. I loved the Archies, and I loved that song! My older brother had the album. It was amazing at the time that the cereal prize record was fused onto the back of the cereal box and that it really played! One had to cut it out or punch it out using the perforations after the cereal was gone. It's wonderful you still have them and awesome of your Mom to have kept them for you. I recall when my kids were small, when cds and floppy discs started appearing in over-priced boxes of cereal in Canada at the end on the 1990s, the "freebies" were samples of games and things that cost $40 to buy in the store. The prices put cereal out of reach for a lot of families and the prices exposed too how over-priced the retail price of game and movie discs were. At the start of the millennium, people complained under (at the time existing) consumer protection act and the prices of both cereal and discs came down considerably. However, that was the end of "free" prizes in cereal boxes in Canada.
I promise I’m not doing this to be annoying, I just thought I’d point out that it’s “joie de vivre” (you may be mixing it up with “c’est la vie”). Really nice to hear your nostalgic memories about the Archies!
@@RevoltOfAges you are likely right. I call my smattering of French, Cerealbox French and it is a bit rusty. It's been decades since I took French in school.
Yep. A 'Flashback' was the studied, hopefully induced and controllable, expected side efffect of CIA McGill MK Ultra and LSD. Or 'Flash-Back' the way JFK's face and cranium sprayed over his wife's face and trunk of the car. ....and to the left lol.
@@philipkeeler9997the term Flashback was first used to describe the dissociation triggered by the shell shock or PTSD of veterans. Then in the 60s, it was the term first used to describe the unpredictable phenomenon the body metabolizing the previously unmetabolized LSD that randomly dislodges from and permeates the blood brain barrier causing a high long after the original ingestion of the drug. It can occur years after the original high.
I remember a Jackson 5 record from a cereal box when I was 6. Michael Jackson was 13. My teacher didn't think it would play. Man, that thing would be worth serious cash I bet now.
I had forgotten about these! Thanks for sharing. My cousin had (not a cereal box record) but the Archie’s Bang Shang a Lang. She also had a “close and play” record player which had no volume button. It was what is was. We used to drive the adults mad playing that record over and over!
That's amazing! I grew up in those times, but we never had any kind of cereal that had tat kind of stuff with it, so I totally missed out!! I had lots of records (singles & albums) but none from cereal boxes! Lol!! Was I ever deprived!! I did get a Jolly Green Giant doll from a package of frozen vegetables. There was an order form that my mom sent in with the UPC symbol from the bag & they sent her the kit to make the doll. It was cloth that she sewed together & stuffed with cotton Thanks for sharing the video!
We had similar on Kellogg’s cereals in the UK for a while. Basically just a flexidisc glued onto the cardboard packet which you had to cut out with scissors and punch a hole in the middle. They were 33rpm too, and sounded fine. I’ve still got a couple somewhere.
I remember the Honey Combs Halloween cereal box vividly. I believe there were three different records in total for the Halloween themed ones, though they had others in the 80’s as well. Cool memories. 👍
It's great to see this because I have that same record still! 😃 I could only guess which cereal box it was cut out of, but it's very likely I was the one who cut it. I smiled when I saw the video title, my smile grew when I saw the familiar image on the record, and even more after you put the needle down. 🎶The tune came back to me in seconds. I'm pleasantly surprised by how many comments the video has received.
I totally remember these things , they also made them like very thin vinyl to & they were all kinds of music & all different colors , very cool . Kids & the younger generation the generation after mine would never know why these things are .
I like how 8 years ago you refer to these as "yeah, remember these old things?". This was before vinyl made a comeback and became somewhat popular again.
That’s amazing! I do wish they still made things like this today, I think cereal companies have almost completely ceased including fun little collectibles now :0
I love those things I still had one off the box of Boo Berry cereal, when cereal tasted good! I believe it was Bobby Sherman but I can't remember I had it up until ten years ago when I lost my house and I had to put stuff in storage and then I lost it because I couldn't pay for it anymore. Almost said when I saw this video because I don't have it but very glad to see somebody do want on them at the same time.
Wow some kick ass childhoods yall had. This is too cool!! Beats the small stuff you got in the boxes. Now todays kids get nothing. Just cereal. And whatever puzzle they put on the back of the box.
This is awsome, basically a more advanced music box where in stead of nails hitting bumps on a rotation cylinder. We have a needle on a disk of cardboard
I never had cereal that had a record on the back. But I think it was very clever of you to glue two of them together to make it a two-sided record. I would have never thought of that.
In the 70's I cut out the Bobby Sherman record from the back of a box of Raisin Bran. It sounded pretty good. However, after a while, the sides of the cardboard would curl up like a potato chip. We then had to stack some books on the record for a few days to straighten it out again.
My parents never had these and by the time I was born cereal companies obviously weren't doing this anymore (though this was before the whole "there's no free toy inside but how about entering this code for coupons or a video game" thing). BUT we used to do auctions and I remember a set of these coming in a lot we bid on - a few cereal box records featuring The Jackson 5 still on the back of their boxes, the back being cut off but the records having never been cut out, so we didn't play them. It's weird to think that this was once a promotion that cereal companies ran.
I haven't thought about those cut out records since I was a kid. Although I have often been reminded about some of the toys in cereal boxes: Frito Bandito pencil erasers, Moon landing creatures, plastic cowboys and indians, etc. I also remember my mom getting drinking glasses and bath towels in boxes of powdered laundry detergent.
My dad was in advertising back in the late 1960's & early 70's. The different companies that made these records on flexible sheets, cardboard boxes, etc used to send him samples by the dozens- - many of which he gave to me to 'play around' with. I wish now I had saved some of them or at least re-recorded some for posterity, as they're all ephemeral audio curiosities now.
i was surprised the first time i heard audio come from the cardboard record from a video talking about them, turns out they have a really thin strip of plastic that contains the music.
I had an Archies record from the back of a Super Sugar Crisps box the title was everything’s Archie, but found out much later the actual name of the song was Boys & Girls and is on my playlist right here on RUclips, that was when I was 12 I’m 67 now .
Love it! I thought I was the only one. I still have the single "Sugar, Sugar" by the Archies cut out from a Rice Krispies box. And mine still plays, too. Thanks for the happy memory.
I miss my elementary days, my classmates had Archie comics and I'd borrow them and read them all, it was fun and wholesome comedy like Scooby Doo.. Too bad those classics got destroyed by new Hollywood, I heard 'Riverdale' is totally different from the Archie comics I grew up with...
We traded those at recess, and they also had free bowling coupons I'd bring in by the handful so I could keep on bowling...at a kid's allowance anyways. They never said anything as long as I paid for the shoe rental and taxes. Bowling to me was almost as easy as playing free cereal box records was. Thanks for sharing nice, vintage memories with us. Maine said to say hello and appreciates you saving decent, tangible old memories.
That was such a cool idea. When I growing up I got a cassette single in a box of cereal. It was of Nickelodeons "The Adventures of Pete and Pete" theme song 😆. I don't think I ever even opened it from the plastic because I just didnt have an interest in listening to it lol. If I ever got a record on the box I definitely would've cut it put and played it just to see if it worked.
@@KeithWeston I know “Melody Hill” is the b-side of the actual 45 of “Sugar Sugar.” That one I still have! I was referring to the “b-side” you made by glueing the two flexi discs together. 😎
I just remember back in Asia that they have these kareoke lyric books that have record grooves on them before when I was small. My grandma had one of those and it feels funky to touch because they always are glossy and wavey. I didn't even know there were specific machines that were needed to play them until we found it in the attic years later. The childhood memories man, all this analog music really hits different even if they appear on the most unlikely of places.
I absolutely remember having similar cereal box disks from the 1970's. I don't recall if it was on Fruity Pebbles, Sugar Frosted Flakes, or what ... but I absolutely remember cutting these out and listening to them. I was always really concerned about getting the record cut out in a perfect circle. I would get a compass out and indent the cardboard to help make a path for my scissors. I just wish I had kept some of them.
Sounds surprisingly not horrible
🤣lol
I played a brand new one 45 years ago that sounded absolutely terrible.

Wow some kick ass childhoods yall had. This is too cool!! Beats the small stuff you got in the boxes. Now todays kids get nothing. Just cereal. And whatever puzzle they put on the back of the box.
30 years old works pristinely well, that’s why record players will always be around
This is awsome, basically a more advanced music box where in stead of nails hitting bumps on a rotation cylinder. We have a needle on a disk of cardboard
I never had cereal that had a record on the back. But I think it was very clever of you to glue two of them together to make it a two-sided record. I would have never thought of that.
In the 70's I cut out the Bobby Sherman record from the back of a box of Raisin Bran. It sounded pretty good. However, after a while, the sides of the cardboard would curl up like a potato chip. We then had to stack some books on the record for a few days to straighten it out again.
My parents never had these and by the time I was born cereal companies obviously weren't doing this anymore (though this was before the whole "there's no free toy inside but how about entering this code for coupons or a video game" thing). BUT we used to do auctions and I remember a set of these coming in a lot we bid on - a few cereal box records featuring The Jackson 5 still on the back of their boxes, the back being cut off but the records having never been cut out, so we didn't play them. It's weird to think that this was once a promotion that cereal companies ran.
Same here, my dad & mom bought us these two…The Jackson 5 & The Osmond Brothers were the ones we got😂👍….they sounded good too….
I feel blessed to bear witness to this masterpiece.
Another video about The Archies said that singer Toni Wine was the vocalist that provided Betty and Veronica's singing voices!
My God I remember them. I was born in the 60s and we had a children's portable record player.
Wow, thank you for sharing such a great memory of The Archies. I remember these cute little 45s on our Cereal boxes. 😊
Gluing them back to back probably saved them from warping as badly
I haven't thought about those cut out records since I was a kid. Although I have often been reminded about some of the toys in cereal boxes: Frito Bandito pencil erasers, Moon landing creatures, plastic cowboys and indians, etc. I also remember my mom getting drinking glasses and bath towels in boxes of powdered laundry detergent.
The saddest part of this video is that I'm old enough to remember cereal box singles AND the song Jingle Jangle.
Why is that sad?
@@JGHOUL-oy6xb It's an aging thing. Result of a lousy childhood.
My dad was in advertising back in the late 1960's & early 70's. The different companies that made these records on flexible sheets, cardboard boxes, etc used to send him samples by the dozens- - many of which he gave to me to 'play around' with. I wish now I had saved some of them or at least re-recorded some for posterity, as they're all ephemeral audio curiosities now.
thats waaay to good for what I expected.
My dad actually pressed those records at post cereal factory in battle creek Michigan it was weekend overtime for him and a friend.
I wish they'd make stuff like this still nowadays, so cool !
See you in two more years when the algorithm really blows this up
Paul is dead, miss him, miss him.
Outstanding that you’ve saved it all these years.
The beginning of the song reminded me of Hootie and the Blowfish "I Only Wanna Be with You."
omg, i remember these like it was yesterday and im 58 now. i wish i had saved them like you did.
i was surprised the first time i heard audio come from the cardboard record from a video talking about them, turns out they have a really thin strip of plastic that contains the music.
I had a cardboard record once, but it was from MAD Magazine - I loved that. I also had a record player that could play 16 1/2, 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM.
I remember these. My mom never would buy the sugary cereals because we would just eat it out of the box 😂😂
You gotta take that to an audiophile stereo show and play it on the most expensive turntable.
I had an Archies record from the back of a Super Sugar Crisps box the title was everything’s Archie, but found out much later the actual name of the song was Boys & Girls and is on my playlist right here on RUclips, that was when I was 12 I’m 67 now .
Boys & Girls was from the first album. Lots of fun tunes there. Truck Driver, I'm In Love, Bang Shang A Lang
@@ueno1 I miss those happier days when the world was a little calmer
Wow,I missed those prizes.🙆🏿♂️Collecting those albums was not a "misspent youth.👍🏿
Back when companies cared about there buyers
Oh my goodness!! I remember those! How cool that you still have them!
Vinyl will always be inferior to cardboard. Cardboard just sounds warmer. My hipster friends all agree.
Love it! I thought I was the only one. I still have the single "Sugar, Sugar" by the Archies cut out from a Rice Krispies box. And mine still plays, too. Thanks for the happy memory.
Man. Wish brands still did this today.
I miss my elementary days, my classmates had Archie comics and I'd borrow them and read them all, it was fun and wholesome comedy like Scooby Doo..
Too bad those classics got destroyed by new Hollywood, I heard 'Riverdale' is totally different from the Archie comics I grew up with...
Yeah Veronica and Reggie got it on in the Riverdale show.
We traded those at recess, and they also had free bowling coupons I'd bring in by the handful so I could keep on bowling...at a kid's allowance anyways. They never said anything as long as I paid for the shoe rental and taxes. Bowling to me was almost as easy as playing free cereal box records was. Thanks for sharing nice, vintage memories with us. Maine said to say hello and appreciates you saving decent, tangible old memories.
That was such a cool idea. When I growing up I got a cassette single in a box of cereal. It was of Nickelodeons "The Adventures of Pete and Pete" theme song 😆. I don't think I ever even opened it from the plastic because I just didnt have an interest in listening to it lol. If I ever got a record on the box I definitely would've cut it put and played it just to see if it worked.
Oh my gosh I almost forgot about those it's wonderful that you still have them! Thank you very much for sharing this.
I had “Sugar Sugar,” from the back of a box of Super Sugar Crisp. It looks like that’s your “Side B.” 🤓
Side B is Melody Hill.
@@KeithWeston I know “Melody Hill” is the b-side of the actual 45 of “Sugar Sugar.” That one I still have! I was referring to the “b-side” you made by glueing the two flexi discs together. 😎
Wow what a flashback! I totally never remember those but thoroughly enjoyed this video. You made me smile. Back then things were so different❤
I just remember back in Asia that they have these kareoke lyric books that have record grooves on them before when I was small. My grandma had one of those and it feels funky to touch because they always are glossy and wavey. I didn't even know there were specific machines that were needed to play them until we found it in the attic years later. The childhood memories man, all this analog music really hits different even if they appear on the most unlikely of places.
I absolutely remember having similar cereal box disks from the 1970's. I don't recall if it was on Fruity Pebbles, Sugar Frosted Flakes, or what ... but I absolutely remember cutting these out and listening to them. I was always really concerned about getting the record cut out in a perfect circle. I would get a compass out and indent the cardboard to help make a path for my scissors. I just wish I had kept some of them.
Awesome video!
I forgot about those! Thank you for reminding viewers about those records. I loved them!
Ironically sounds better than a lot of vinyl
Vinyl sounds better in general.
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic no, it does not.
@@MeadeSkeltonMusicOr rather, crackling noise is pleasing to the ears.
@@WilliamParkerer crackling noise only happens if record is scratched or damaged, possibly dirty. Not new ones, my Floyd record is crisp.
Ahh… the good ol’ days of youth when cereal was fun to buy no matter how bad it tasted. Give me the surprise anytime
The jackson 5 sugar daddy is the one that i like
you remember back when people took an unnecessarily long amount of time to explain something really, really simple?
