Reminds me of the old joke: A guy shows up to a costume party wearing nothing at all except roller skates. The hostess says "who are you supposed to be?" The guy says, "a pull toy!"
This was an arts and crafts toy set made by Kenner Toy Company that had the cereal mascot, plastic hand puppets that kids could color. There was no cereal in the box.
apparently this one was pulled because they didn't get permission for the song (or my guess, thought they could just copy it).
Something I don't have a picture of, unfortunately. It was a deck of cards, with all of the positions on a baseball team, and a result of an at-bat for each one. You shuffled the cards, and played a baseball game, keeping score on a scoring pad or a sheet of paper. I would love to find a set of them, but don't even know who made them.
There was a similar set for American football as well.
When I was a kid, we just called them card baseball and card football. Most five and dime stores carried them. Haven't seen them in years.

Not sure if this was posted, but remember that trend in the early 80's of temporary tattoos: lick, stick, and press, hold, and remove?
Oh man I forgot about those. Cracker Jacks made me feel icky but I always wanted to get them for the prizes.Cracker Jack had those too.
