Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for December 26, 2024

We tried the boxtop thing, but mom tended to throw them away long before we could send away for anything. Then she simply stopped buying cereal and told us to eat toast. I stopped eating breakfast in about 2nd grade because cold milk and toast in the morning is just…no thanks.

Give it a few more years, Charlie Brown, and you’ll need the tricycle!

Give it to your kids!

Well by then you’ll be able to pay the shipping and handling.

Switch to chocolate frosted sugar bombs, and go in with Calvin on it. You’ll have the trike at 20.

Find out that the offer was good through December 31, 1960.

Do one box a day, and you can shorten the wait to about five-and-a-half years.

Reminds me of Calvin and his propeller beanie.

That’s close enough to the time you’ll be due for a midlife crisis, and you can trade it in for a snazzy sports car.

He knows division, but only wants his first trike?

in the mid 60s i got the Donovan album Sunshine Superman with cigar bands from my dads cigars – white owls if i remember correctly

Pepsi found out the hard way that people would be inspired to win prizes when they offered a fighter jet for what they assumed was an uncollectable amount of pepsi points for the time the contest was running. Someone collected enough points and pepsi took it to court and won.

Worth noting, by the time the jet commercial aired on TV, that pepsi owned the world’s 6th largest military navy fleet and could have easily put up a functional attack submarine or a destroyer instead of a fighter jet.

Give it to your grandkids.

Indeed!
