Some music magazines still do press-out thin plastic records. I bet a lot of current tweens and teens would be hard pressed to find a CD player outside of a car. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I bet a lot of current tweens and teens would be hard pressed to find a CD player outside of a car. I remember Coke used to have a real small CD packaged in 12 packs during the early 90s. Couldn't play them in the car though, they'd get stuck. |

Here is another from Mad Magazine "It's a Gas" Around 1965 or 66 we played it on the record player in the college dining hall. We were easily amused then.

Now they'd just print an I-Tunes code on the back of the box so you could download the music onto your phone. Then 40 years later, people would be reminiscing on Arfcom about how cool it was.

I remember back in the 70's there was this stud American decathlete pictured on a box a Wheaties... won Olympic gold the same year as the United States Bicentennial... greatest athlete on the planet... good looking, all-American dude... captivated the nation, had the world by the balls. Now he's a broad  Holy shit. Are you for real? I was in the check out line today and figured it was tabloid bullshit? |

Captain Crunch cereal used to have a kid's plastic whistle that was the perfect frequency for blowing into a pay phone which would allow you to get free unlimited long distance phone calls. I don't remember how long this went on until the phone company got wise to it and changed things. BZZZZT WRONG, according to the captain himself, you could not make long distance phone calls, but you could technically make a phone ring and give off weird noises. |

I remember them. My favorite was an Alvin and the Chipmunks record. I seem to remember it coming from a Fruity Pebbles box, but it was a long time ago so I may be wrong. I was telling me daughter about it just a week or two ago. She looked at me like I was talking about my childhood pet Dinosaur. I remember one that was The Chipmunks singing My Sharona to promote the Chipmunk Punk album. I think it was from a magazine though, not a cereal box. It was way to long ago to remember clearly. |

I remember getting one (around Halloween) that was a series of spooky sounds. I thought it was cool as hell. I wanna say it was in a box of Cap'n Crunch, but I don't rightly remember.

In the video, the gentleman mentions something about going back to his "record store."
What the hell is that?? Next thing we know, he's going to say something about going to the movie rental store, and being forced to rewind the movies he rented...

Have a few.
Also some guitar magazines had them inside. Would have to place a coin or two on the center-spindle side to keep it flat. Thought, 'What will they come up with next?' |

Got a square record out of this magazine. I believe the song was "Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing" by Joe Satriani. Sound quality was pretty decent circa 1989. http://www.guitarworld.com/files/imagecache/futureus_imagegallery_fullsize/gallery/GW-1189.jpg "Blue Steel" |
