I loved collecting all the stickers from Golden Nuggets - a cereal in the 70’s - as a child I was a fussy eater, it was only cereal I would eat! The stickers were (from memory) a miner, a snake, a donkey, a mine cart & a pick axe. All stuck on the inside of the door of my shed.

I love this take on objects of a collection having completion - or equally being a reminder of a place or experience you want to take with you. (On our fridge we have magnets from all the holidays we have enjoyed on England - first as a couple then as a young family.)

Rather than the never ending scrolling of always one more thing.

Oh, I definitely remember golden nuggets. I’ll have to look up the little objects though. And, yes, I was thinking of fridge magnets. We have quite a few on our fridge but most are gifts from other people staying. Not all of them though!

They certainly are up to 5 - but I was thinking characters of Pete the miner & the donkey are in TS 3 ?

Good article btw on cereal boxes and Kelloggs!

Ah! Yes, the second one I think? But are they the same characters or just very very similar?!

I think you’re right - it’s the 2nd one. The one which introduces Jessie. (Yes the third one has the scary pink bear, Ken and Barbie and the Play Centre in it.)

I think you’re right - they’re probably not exactly the same characters but very very similar!

I did look only and found a few things. It also seems that Kellogg’s have started putting toys back in the cereal packets! Interestingly there’s a connection between the Toy Story characters and Golden Nuggets of course! https://www.bakeryandsnacks.com/Article/2026/04/29/cereal-box-toys-return-why-kelloggs-move-reignites-a-global-debate/
