It's a Kellogg's Halloween!!!

Vintage advertisement showing a woman handing out boxes of cereal to trick or treaters in costume on HalloweenAccording to this article, "in 1958 both Post and Kellogg promoted individual cereal boxes as the perfect Halloween treat." I know I'm going to be in the minority here, but that's a movement that I could actually get behind. Obviously candy would be my first choice, but I'd rather get a box of cereal than an apple, pennies or raisins.
