Muppets - They're not just for breakfast anymore!

[red_rose]

I bought some Cinnamon Toast Crunch today.

I needed to get some cereal, but I'm really not a big fan of overly sweet cereal.

And then I saw it. There, plastic wrapped to the front of the box.

A feature length DVD of Muppets Take Manhattan.

For free.

All I had to do was pay $5 for a big ol' box of cereal.

I'm a-gonna be eatin' Cinnamon Toast Crunch for a while.

Wow! Talk about a change from plastic decoder rings...

 

[Cerberus666]

have you seen the Weezer video on mtv with the muppets in it? yeah, great freakin video.

 

[Rhys]

Careful, J_H will think this thread is about him

 

[red_rose]

Hmm.. Muppets with Red Bits? hahaha

Part of a complete breakfast!


Actually, I bet Cheffie will be cranky that he didn't pick up a box o' cereal before heading back home. lol

A DVD on a box of cereal? Obviously you bought the cereal from the trunk of a car.

One has to wonder how bad a foodproduct is when it entices you with a freebie that is valued at 3 times its own price.

Just odd.

 

[red_rose]

lol, Mouse.

I actually had the following choices on DVD:

- 2 episodes of Bear in the Big House (or wtf it's called)

- 2 episodes of some silly Jackie Chan cartoon

- Some crappy/corny kids movie

- Muppets Take Manhattan

I think it was just sheer craziness that caused someone to put the Muppets in with those other goobers.

For whatever reason they did it, I'm glad.

Enjoy the DVD, rose. I am jealous. not only did you get a pretty entertaining movie but a wacky story to go along with it.

Tomorrow at the Market, Buy a steak, get a free CD.

I can see it now - your options are "The Best of Raffi", Meatloaf's "Bat out of Hell", "Yanni's Greatest Hits", and Garth Brooks "The Hits". Heh.

(Don't ask me why I chose those titles. Except for Meatloaf. Meatloaf...steak... um... Yeah.)

Actually - in all seriousness - the DVD appears to also be matched up with various ad bundles... including (you guessed it!) free trial of AOL! Yay.

I could spare $5 for another box of cereal... but the cost to ship it to him would probably cause me some financial trauma! lol

Yeah what is it like 35 dollars to ship something to OZ nowdays...
he's probably downloaded the whole thing for free anyway...

I got a "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" CD-ROM when I purchased a box of Rice Chex.

Those are cool muppets. Makes me want to put up my Sigmund sea monster av again

 

[SweetCherry]

Cheffie and I tried to find one of those boxes of cereal before he left but no dice. I'm gonna have to check the store again and see what I can find.

Oh yeah, and I might have to break down and buy a dvd player.

 

[Oscuridad]

Does anyone but me remember the decoder/whistle?

It came in a box of cereal.

It was excellently good for injuring yourself with if you kept it in a pocket whist running jumping and playing, as children do.

*lots of sharp corners*
