What happened to the Masks they used to put on the back of Corn Flakes boxes?
I was looking for some artwork for a print job the other day. My wife did a search and an old Mask from the back of a Corn Flakes box popped up. About 50 memories from my childhood came flooding in. We use to love those things! The were a great gimmick. It would force me to pick out the blandest, most boring, most shit flavored cereal in the whole sugary isle. Now that is mind control! Anything that can get a kid to eat healthy has to be a powerful thing. My folks would make me eat them to before we could go back and get new cereal. The sad thing by the next time I would go back there would be a new mask, so I would stay the Fruity Pebbles until the next time. The Star Wars ones were pretty popular at the time with my brother and me. So this post is for the Marketing Genius of the Cereal box designers.
