[Upon doing your shopping, you may notice that the cereal boxes in the general store are no longer carrying pictures of cartoon characters or famous athletes on the box. Instead, every brand of cereal has an advertisement like this one printed on the front and back!]



JEEPERS!
WHERE'D YOU GET A REAL SUPERMAN BELT?

BOBBY GOT IT FROM EATING CEREAL
AND NOW YOU CAN, TOO!

- X-RAY GLASSES.....5 BOX TOPS!
- THE CLOTHES OF TOMORROW.....10 BOX TOPS!
- SAMURAI SWORD......15 BOX TOPS!
- A REAL WORKING WALKIE TALKIE.....40 BOX TOPS!
- SUPERPOWERS.....200 BOX TOPS!

ALL THESE AND MUCH MORE!

SWELL PRIZES FROM YOUR FAVORITE SUGARY CEREALS? IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, BUT WITH BOXTOPS, IT'S WITHIN YOUR REACH! JUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW!
1. TELL YOUR PARENTS TO BUY YOU CEREAL!
2. CAREFULLY CUT OUT THE BOX TOP!
3. BUY EVEN MORE CEREAL!!
4. WHEN YOU COLLECT ENOUGH, BRING THEM TO THE POST OFFICE ALONG WITH A SMALL PROCESSING FEE!

[In the mail, every household will receive a small, plain booklet for each drone and non-drone in the household, printed with the cereal logo. Inside is a list of the redeemable prizes and the amount of box tops they cost. However, for the non-drones, the advertised x-ray glasses aren't available! Instead, every single regain your character is entitled to is listed alongside a box top value. While small items like clothes and ordinary weapons are going for only 5 box tops, regains like superpowers or powerful items apparently cost up to 200 box tops!

Or, should you read the fine print, that's 200 box tops + a processing fee to be determined.

This is a limited time offer, so you'd better get collecting. We predict cereal will just be flying off the shelf!]
