In addition to the 24 ounce box above, an 18 ounce was also produced.




Another completely different second box featuring artwork of the Evil Queen on one side and Snow with the Seven Dwarfs on the opposite.




And for just $5.99, two UPC symbols, and an order form from the inside panel of the box, you could mail away for a unique Talking Magic Mirror. When you press the button on the bottom, the face in the mirror lights up and says one of the following phrases:

-How lovely to see you.
-How enchanting.
-How do you do?
-You are as pretty as a princess.
-Whose reflection do I see?

Mirror measures approximately 9.5" x 7.5". Operates on 3 AA batteries. Imprint on back reads: "Disney Manufactured for Kelloggs in China". Includes a stand or a small hole for wall-mounting

Note: Bright colors reflected in mirror surface are from scanner.

    I'm not sure I'd want to eat anything -- cereal or otherwise -- that features Snow White about to bite into the poisoned apple. The implications of the product seem dubious.
