Post Cereal & Warner Brothers

In the early to mid 1960's, Post cereal hooked up with Warner Brothers and sponsered the Bugs Bunny Show. Only Bugs Bunny ever got on the front of the box but a number of great cut outs and activitys appeared on the backs. Perhaps my favorites were a series of cut out puppets which used the snack pack boxes to form them. Eventually Bugs and friends gave way to Linus and his pals but it was fun while it lasted.

I've really been enjoying your cereal sets. The best part of collecting besides the thrill of the hunt is sharing it.

They should do a cereal collab like this again and add some cool cereal slogans to the box. I saw some good mottos they could use that i'll share here: Cereal Slogans
