Adverts make such promises
I remember as a nipper - must have been three or four. There was an advert for Rice Crispies on the TV at the time, with transfers of "Snap", "Crackle" and Pop" which you rubbed into some flat surface. Once the kid in the advert had done it (him with his blonde hair and milk teeth - sickening little bastard), the characters in the transfers magically started flying through the air much to TV Boy's delight and wonder.

Normally we were a Cornflakes family, but seeing this advert made me pester my mum to get some Rice Crispies. I was all for magical cartoon characters flying through my living room! Hell yes! Eventually my mum yielded to my petted-lip and foot-stamping and bought a packet. As soon as she got them home I snatched them from the bag, found the tranfers and got a 50 piece (one of the LARGE ones) to rub away like an avid masturbator with a copy of Razzle Dazzle.

One transfer down - nothing. The picture was there, but no flying or magic. Two down... then three... nothing!! No magic flying cartoon characters at all. WHAT A SWIZ!

Never been so disappinted.
