I don't think it was the inside of the box. I think it was embedded in
the actual box. I remember cutting the record out of the back of the
box, leaving a giant hole in the back of the cereal box and getting
into a heap of trouble for that!!!!! The cardboard "record" did play
on my sister's panasonic portable record-player/am/fm radio, but you
needed to hold it down on the turntable with a quarter. You needed to
tape a nickle to the arm of the record player to begin with... and it
ruined her needle. I got into a heap of trouble for that, too!!! Not
for using her record player. I was allowed to use her record player. I
was probably 6 or 7 though, so I had no idea that a cardboard "record"
cut from the back of a cereal box would ruin a record player needle.

Don't remember if it was Honeycomb, Alphabits or Super Sugar Crisp. It
was one of the Post cereals....
