From February 14 to March 7, Target stores nationwide will carry five limited-edition General Mills cereal boxes featuring fun “Retro” package designs and premium offers from the '60s and '80s. General Millls was kind enough to send me a cereal gift pack to review.
General Mills is also generously providing five Frugally Blonde readers with their own cereal gift packs, each consisting of five boxes of cereal (one each of the retro packages), a retro t-shirt, and a $10 Target gift card.
One cereal box will be featured here on Frugally Blonde each day Monday through Friday of this week, with a chance to win every day.
Today we're highlighting the retro Cheerios box, which features Rocky and Bullwinkle. Cheerios was introduced in 1965, the year that "The Sound of Music" was released and the Beatles released "Help!". Do you remember Rocky and Bullwinkle? I confess that I'm too young to remember these characters, although I do remember my mom mentioning them.
On the back of the retro Cheerios box, Rocky and Bullwinkle teach you to play Shuffle-O, a version of shuffleboard using cereal boxes! That sounds simple enough for even my 3 year old to play! I've never played shuffleboard, but my family did enoy playing board games together when I was growing up. We've moved on from Chutes and Ladders and Ting a Ling Bingo, but we still play games for hours when we all get together. I've recently enjoyed starting to introduce my daughter to board games as well.

I don't remember watching Rocky and Bullwinkle but I heard all about them from my dad who loved the show! As for games, Candyland was our favorite...

ReplyDeleteYes! I used to watch it on Saturday mornings it was the first cartoon that came on :) I would get up and wait for them to start! I cannot remember how old I was though (maybe 6 or 7) - it was in the 80's. Wow, what memories that brings back!

ReplyDeleteOh, dear - I don't remember watching Rocky and Bullwinkle. But, I also grew up in a home where we didn't have cable, so I might be a little deprived. :) I remember enjoying the game Scrabble.

ReplyDeleteI began watching Rocky and Bullwinkle when I was about 3 or so .. I never was a collector of their items, I just liked watching their cartoon .. :-)
ReplyDeleteRocky and Bullwinkle was something I only caught once in awhile in re-run, but I always cracked up over Snidely Whiplash and Dudley Do-Right. Snidely was always tying some helpless female to the train tracks and Dudley Do-Right and his goofy horse would ride in and save the day.
ReplyDeleteGrowing up, our favorite games were Life and probably Sorry! These days, my brother-in-law is always trying to round up a group to play Monopoly!
I never watched Rocky and Bullwinkle--I don't think I've even really heard of them.

ReplyDeleteI remember Rocky & Bullwinkle at least occasionally, but tv was not common at our house!

ReplyDeleteWOOHOO! This is my first day trying something like this.
ReplyDeleteI'm old...so I was a small child when I first started watching Rocky and Bullwinkle. I never owned anything with the characters though. I do remember living in CA and they had a Chuck E Cheese type pizza place called Bullwinkles. They did watershows too! VERY cool. We had my daughter's 3rd birthday there in 1985. She HATED the Bullwinkle character but took a picture with him anyway. lol
Right now my son is using my Google account so...that's the signature. hehe
Yes, I watched Rocky & Bullwinkle--recently acutally--it was on Saturday mornings and my kids were able to watch it. Not sure how much they liked it, but I did!!
ReplyDeleteI remember them, but it was definitely in reruns. My father was a huge fan the first time around. :)

ReplyDeleteYes I remember them and watching the show and them diving into the water tank. I suppose 6 or something a10small@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteThe closest I know about Rocky and Bullwinkle would be from Joey off Full House. So, I dont' have any merchandise to share with my children but as a child I loved pretend play...Teacher, Doctor or Chef. We also had family board game night a lot! Loved those memories!
ReplyDeleteksizemore@burke.k12.nc.us
I think I remember Rocky and Bullwinkle - I know that I have seen it on tv sometime. Also, they are the "mascots" to The Family Fun Center close by. I have a friend with guinea pigs named Rocky and Bullwinkle. They are so cute. As a child, we used to play a lot of hide and seek in the dark outside. We also played kick the can, kickball, and tag.
ReplyDeleteI loved rocky and bullwinkle as a kid! Cartoons sure have changed!

I absolutley remember Rocky and Bullwinkle! I even remember the " Fractured Fairy Tales " that played in between the R+B episodes! I was born in 1961 *Gosh* so I grew up with those guys. I remember their theme song and how silly and sterotyped that Boris and Natasha were!I remember it all and also some of the other corney yet cute cartoons out at that time!

I would imagine I was about 4 years old when I first saw Rocky and Bullwinkle. When I was a kid we played jacks and made mud pies a lot!
ReplyDeletei vaguely remember Rocky & Bullwinkle. I think they were a little before my time and I just caught a few episodes. I don't think I "got" the humor, but clearly remember Rocky's voice.
ReplyDeletei can remember watching Rocky & Bullwinkle just vaugely - don't remember watching regularly or anything i must have been very small
