So last Summer packed inside Kellogg's Cereal Boxes was Electronic Pedometers, complete with 2-3AG batteries, in the shapes of Tony Tiger, Snap Crackle and Pop...etc...... THIS SUMMER, its a Electronic Digital Bicycle Computer that Calculates Distance, Time, Trip Memory...and other functions, again including 2-3AG batteries. It is a two-piece unit that comprises of the digital counter (with Reed Switch), and a very strong magnet that mounts on the spokes. I remember when I was a kid....the best thing you could ever hope for is a 2 inch long Submarine powered by Baking Soda. Aint it amazing!

But you have all those magazines that include things taped to the front. Obviously nowadays there are the common CDs on the music magazines and the DVDs on the Linux magazines, but I can remember decades ago getting Practical Electronics and they had things like small circuit boards, wire bending jigs, schematic drawing templates, and more than I can remember.
