    Did I just imagine the following or was it real. Frosties had a promotion (probably mid1980's?) where if collected enough tokens you could set a mailaway ruler. But this was no ordinary ruler, oh no! This ruler had a calculator and a watch built into it! Gimmicky I know but at the time it had a genuine wow factor.

    So was it real? I'm sure it was! Maybe it wasn't Frosties tho? I can't seem to find mention of it anywhere online and I'd like to pick up one on ebay but I never find a match.

    I've seen them as a kid, can't remember any Frosties branded ones though. Ah, set adrift on memory bliss of... toys you got in cereal packets!

    Do they do the same nowadays? Or do they get mobile phones, DVDs and Ross O'Carroll-Kelly 'D4 man' robots that say 'Loike, tewtally!'???

    I vaguely remember someone in school having one.

    I had a yellow mr freeze ruler. Probably had to suffer loads of cut up lips to get it.
