Download and read online ebook New Zealand Cereal Toys, 1950-2000 write by Stephen Summers. This book was released on 2006. New Zealand Cereal Toys, 1950-2000 available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Cereal toys are one of the few childhood items that held a place in almost every New Zealand household over the last five decades. After a trip to the local dairy or supermarket, cereal packets bearing the tempting wording "Free gift inside!" or "Collect the whole set!" were brought home to young eyes that widened with excitement and anticipation over what was hiding within... While the cereal toys of today are better crafted, their predecessors of the 1950s through to the 1970s come from an age when toys were not as easily available. For many children of that time, real toys were often still expensive and only obtained on special occasions, therefore give-away toys in cereal packets were one way o make a significant contribution to the toy box... New Zealand Cereal Toys 1950-2000 will not only be a useful reference guide as it contains information on over 100 cereal (and other) toy sets but also re-kindle childhood memories of excitement and anticipation of opening a packet of cereal with an unknown toy inside.

Download and read online ebook Searching for Kingly Critter write by Barry Divola. This book was released on 2004. Searching for Kingly Critter available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there was war at Australian breakfast tables as children raced to claim the small plastic toy hidden at the bottom of the pack of cereal. A couple of decades after the last toy rolled off the production line, hidden stashes of these wildly innovative toys were unearthed by those keen to relive their childhoods and reanimate the 7-year-old within who was obsessed with completing a set of Crater Critters, Tooly Birds or Camel Train. Searching for Kingly Critter is part pop-cultural history, part character study and part quest. The quest is Barry Divola's dogged hunt for the rarest cereal toy of all: a 1968 Kingly Critter. Along the way he encounters the perpetrators, the designers, the hoarders, the collectors, the scammers, the celebrities, the freaks and the lovely old ladies who keep hidden treasure in a biscuit tin at the bottom of the linen cupboard. What we find in this smart, inventive and intriguing book is not just piles of coloured plastic but a door leading back to another time and a key to the nature of obsession.

Download and read online ebook Encyclopedia of Junk Food and Fast Food write by Andrew F. Smith. This book was released on 2006-08-30. Encyclopedia of Junk Food and Fast Food available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Eating junk food and fast food is a great all-American passion. American kids and grownups love their candy bars, Big Macs and supersized fries, Doritos, Twinkies, and Good Humor ice cream bars. The disastrous health effects from the enormous appetite for these processed fat- and sugar-loaded foods are well publicized now. This was particularly dramatically evidenced by Super Size Me (2004), filmmaker Morgan Spurlock's 30-day all-McDonald's diet in which his liver suffered the same poisoning as if he had been on an extended alcohol binge. Through increased globalization, American popular food culture is being increasingly emulated elsewhere in the world, such as China, with the potential for similar disastrous consequences. This A-to-Z reference is the first to focus on the junk food and fast food phenomena from a multitude of angles in addition to health and diet concerns. More than 250 essay entries objectively explore the scope of the topics to illuminate the American way through products, corporations and entrepreneurs, social history, popular culture, organizations, issues, politics, commercialism and consumerism, and much more. Interest in these topics is high. This informative and fascinating work, with entries on current controversies such as mad cow disease and factory farming, the food pyramid, movie tie-ins, and marketing to children, will be highly useful for reports, research, and browsing. It takes readers behind the scenes, examining the significance of such things as uniforms, training, packaging, and franchising. Readers of every age will also enjoy the nostalgia factor, learning about the background of iconic drive-ins, the story behind the mascots, facts about their favorite candy bar, and collectables. Each entry ends with suggested reading. Besides an introduction, a timeline, glossary, bibliography, resource guide, and photos enhance the text. Sample entries: A&W Root Beer; Advertising; Automobiles; Ben & Jerry's; Burger King; Carhops; Center for Science in the Public Interest; Christmas; Cola Wars; Employment; Fair Food; Fast Food Nation; Hershey, Milton; Hollywood; Injury; Krispy Kreme; Lobbying; Nabisco; Obesity; PepsiCo; Salt; Soda Fountain; Teen Hangouts; Vegetarianism; White Castle; Yum! Brands, Inc.
