68. The Toy Inside My Cereal Box, Pepsi's Where's My Jet Campaign, Global Words Spoken Each Day, Ear Buds, And More

Send us Fan MailWe start with a simple question about cereal and end up tracing how cereal companies turned breakfast into a treasure hunt with prizes, box tops, and long waits by the mailbox. Then we jump from classic promotions to a wild Pepsi Points court case and a surprisingly mind-bending estimate of how many spoken words vanish every day. • chasing cereal box toys more than the cereal • favorite cereals, sugar habits, and why some go soggy fast • a practical oatmeal packet measuring trick • how proof of purchase and mail-in premiums built brand loyalty • Kellogg’s early promotions and Cracker Jack prize culture • why in-box toys faded out due to safety, cost, and plastic concerns • Pepsi Points and the “Where’s My Jet?” lawsuit • estimating roughly 90 to 130 trillion spoken words per day worldwide If you will give us a rating, give us a five-star rating wherever you’re listening to this at. It sure does help the show grow. -find us on Instagram @thisthatandtheother_pod-follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/share/dgPq18Zsy1VxMzze/?mibextid=WC7FNe-look us up on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@thisthatandtheotherpod?_t=8ksSLeCk8A3&_r=1-subscribe on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/@ThisThatAndTheOtherPodca-qg9cn -contact us at [email protected] every Monday wherever you get your podcasts -also listen to Jody and his two buddies at Three Wheels No Direction Podcast every Monday and Thursday https://open.spotify.com/show/6URaZdKPqAOYrWovnrMnES?si=ZIsj6OqdQGywymW_O9H4sQ-Thank you so much for listening If you are interested in the nails or any of Amanda's social media, she talks about here is her link.https://linktr.ee/Manda772
