I was an unusual girl child in that I preferred toy cars, planes, trains, and boats over dolls. One of my favorites was a little orange plastic submarine acquired from a cereal box (it was the U.S.S. Toucan Sam from a box of Froot Loops in approx. 1995, if you were wondering). To my delight, there are pictures of this wonderful creation on the internet.
Isn't it delightful? So basic and yet I got hours of joy out of this thing. I carried it everywhere with me.
I almost wish it were possible to acquire one of these nowadays, although I have no idea what I would do with it. I found the image in
this old listing. Do they still put toys in cereal boxes? Are they this awesome?
