My favorites were the color changing dinosaurs in the Flinstones cereals. Stick them in the freezer and they changed. Plus the Disney figurines, back when those were the only toys those characters got.
Kid meals at fast food restaurants suffered the same fate- what used to be a free toy in the box is now a $5 retail offering, and the free toy is crap.
