There are some toys from my childhood that are ones that are better off in the past. You know the ones, they're the kind that clearly existed before parents thought about choking hazards and lead paint and all that sort of stuff... not to say that they weren't fun to play with, though!
However, there are also those that have withstood the test of time and have safely made a name for themselves as a true classic. One that immediately comes to mind that my girls (and every other kid we know) love? Hot Wheels, of course!
But, wait. Not only do my kids love Hot Wheels, they love eating. Particularly breakfast and particularly every Big G cereal that has ever come through our front door. Not only do they taste good, but all Big G cereals are made with whole grains, which deliver vitamins, minerals, fiber and other nutrients. How does General Mills do it?
So is it possible to combine the two and pretty much make my kids think that their life is complete?
It is now!
Now through February 27th, specially-marked boxes of Big G cereals (Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Cookie Crisp, Lucky Charms, Cheerios and Reese's Puffs) will include one of four custom-designed Hot Wheels pullback racers! Can breakfast get any more fun than that? If your family is a fan of Hot Wheels, these will surely be a big hit!
If that isn't enough, how about a Super-Fan Family Prize Pack of Big G cereal and Hot Wheels merchandise? What is included in something like that, you ask? How about all of this...
- 3 Hot Wheels baseball hats
- 3 Hot Wheels t-shirts
- 5 boxes of participating Big G cereals
- A complete set of the limited-edition Hot Wheels pullback racers
- A Stunt N' Dunk Hot Wheels racetrack
One person will win a Super-Fan Family Prize Pack
from Big G and Hot Wheels! ARV $130!

Collected Hot Wheels since I was a young child, brought my son up on hot wheels and now grandchildren. We love to set up the tracks, or just play with them on the floor, imagination works great here. Some hot wheels we like to keep in the original packages because they are so unique and these are look but don't touch.

We have loved hot wheels since we were children and have passed on this tradition to our children. Thank you for the giveaway.

My son wasn't even 3 years old yet and he could pick out the Hot Wheels symbol on the bottom of his cars. He would separate them based on whether or not they were Hot Wheels. He loves his cars and his track and would love more!

my daughter loves Hot Wheels! It all started when she found a car... half buried in mud... and insisted it needed a bath & love... and then, it needed 'friends' ☺ The rest is history... she still has them neatly stored in a plastic, divided case

We had a huge 5 gallon bucket full of hot wheels - LOL My girls came across a sick little boy and they wanted to share them with him. The hot wheels are gone now - but the memories linger - this would put a smile on their faces :)

My youngest son (now 13) used to line up his Hot Wheels end to end to see how far the line would stretch. Spent hours playing with them. We would be so happy to win more!
My nephews are now old enough to play with Hot Wheels and I can't wait to get them some for their birthdays!

My husband has collected Hot Wheels since he was a boy and has hundreds of them.
Every since my boys were born they have been collecting their own as well.
They have cars, ramps, raceways, rug cities and cases.
