Throwback Time: Anyone Remember These Classics?

An old Quaker Oatmeal advertisement from 1999 promoting 'Dinosaur Eggs' and a 'Free Dinosaur Color Changing Bowl' that changes color when hot water is added. The ad features a green bowl with cartoon dinosaur eggs in oatmeal, a Quaker Oatmeal box, and text explaining how to get the bowl by sending in empty packets and $1.00 shipping. The joke is that the 'dinosaur eggs' are just oatmeal with red and white toppings that look like eggs, and the bowl changes color from green to yellow when hot water is added, not that actual dinosaurs hatch.
