    See J5 Box Cereal Record

    Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 starred in a series of Alpha-Bits musical TV commercials in 1973 through 1974. In those commercials, they advertise prizes that came from the cereal box like five different Jackson 5 records. One free on each specially mark box. ABC was the Jackson five hit record you got free on Alpha-Bits and Frosted Rice Krinkles. The record was printed on the back of the cereal boxes. It listed five songs. number one - ABC, number two - I Want You Back, number three - I'll Bet You, number four - Darling Dear, and number five - Maybe Tomorrow.

    I don't remember any of those classic box records. I was probably a baby then. But I do remember collecting a Jackson 5 poster or booklet from the cereal box. It was so long ago. The Jackson 5 had on yellow basketball outfits, but I missed the records.

    Those little simple things like getting a small record with your breakfast I know must have meant so much. Those cereal box records were Jackson 5 Flexi Disc. They looked like cardboard with a photo of a record and the Jackson 5. I've I've seen pictures of one placed on a record player. On the back on the box, you cut the record out on the dotted line.

    The Jackson 5 advertised the cereal box records singing their hit song ABC for the alphabet cereal commercial. But that was just one of the cereal commercials.

    They have done other alphabets commercials singing other songs like I got A look at my B going to eat my Alpha-Bits and XYZ. There were other cereal box prizes in their commercials too like posters, and there was an invicible inkpen.

    Whenever you saw a cereal commercial advertising cereal box prizes like the Jackson 5, you had to go out and buy that box of cereal. Those were the best childhood days.

    Coming up next is some Cap’n Crunch cartoon commercials. Cap’n Crunch is a corn and oat breakfast cereal manufactured since 1963 by Quaker oats Company a subsidiary of PepsiCo since 2001.

    The character was created by Allan Burns, who became known for co-creating The Munsters and The Mary Tyler Moore Show.[10] The commercials themselves were originally produced by Jay Ward Productions. Quaker Oats had a marketing plan for Cap'n Crunch, before it had developed the cereal.[8] The product line is heralded by a cartoon mascot named Cap'n Crunch.[11] Cap'n Crunch is depicted as a late 18th-century naval captain, an elderly gentleman with white eyebrows and a white moustache, who wears a Revolutionary-style naval uniform: a bicorne hat emblazoned with a "C" and a gold-epauletted blue coat with gold bars on the sleeves.

    The animated television commercials featured the adventures of Cap'n Crunch commanding the "good ship" Guppy on its sea voyages accompanied by his canine first mate Seadog and loyal crew of sailor children named Alfie, Dave, Brunhilde, and Carlyle. Jean LaFoote, "The Barefoot Pirate", often attacked the Guppy in order to steal its cargo of Cap'n Crunch cereal.

    So coming up next I'll be sharing some of the animated television Cap’n Crunch commercials.
