What a great response to Alert #40!
Lots of great info and a correction.
Dennis found the Sprint car in a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Walter found the Wheaties car in a box of Wheaties, and the HN Cheerios car in, you guessed it; HN Cheerios.
Brian corrected what I sent out, the Cheerios paint job is the new one for 2003.
He also noticed all the cars are painted on Dodge bodies, but in 2000, the Wheaties car was a Pontiac!
Robin went out and bought three boxes of cereal, and found a cereal to car relationship - it certainly is looking that way.
This morning, Kim came up with the same theory, and added about the Sprint car; "since that (Cinnamon Toast Crunch) was the one Kyle was on most last year".
Thanks, General Mills, we appreciate that..
Robin also noticed the Cheerios was the 2003 paint.
Jaquita in East Texas mentioned finding a car on a box of Alka-Seltzer.
I replied with info about the 5 2001 cars and the CVS variants, and the 4 10th Anniversary cars last year.
Since then ProMoCo sent me a couple of eMails, one was an eBay link to a new Alka-Seltzer Matt Kenseth car.
The box looks more like the Excedrin Promos, it's mostly yellow with a picture of Matt.
So keep your eyes open in the medicine aisles.
To see a picture, go to www.eBay.com and type 3109681162 in the search box.
His second eMail was a link to the RedCell homepage (www.redcell.com), with instructions to click on the Promotions link.
Looks like they want to expand and get a little more brand recognition.
There looks to be two Promotions, one with Mattel and one with Sony (I think).
Reports are coming in fast!
Keep your eyes peeled - they're out there!
Ask the Editor for more information.
