It is listed as a Food Issue on here and the cat would agree. However, to me shouldn't this be listed as an Oddball set? (It only matters to me because it took seven extra seconds to find it because it wasn't listed under Oddball) ------------------------------- I'm mostly organizing over adding right now.

Food Issue. They were inserted in cereal boxes. ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

I guess if I looked a little more closely I would have seen this too! Thank you, Chuck. I don't think I remember Ralston Purina selling cereal in Canada, I only remember them as a pet food company!

They made cereals until they sold out to General Mills. My favorites were Chex and Almond Delight. They also had a hot cereal I really miss. General Mills still makes the Chex cereals. ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*
