i actually won this bike! late one evening in the cereal aisle of the local superfresh grocery store in pottstown, PA, i decided i wanted a box of nutritious strawberry honeycomb cereal. the only other kid in the aisle has a box in his hand, but his mom says "no, put that back". being the last box on the shelf, i distinctly recall feeling very pleased with myself as i snuck it into my mom's cart. never thinking that it would amount to anything other than pink milk in my cereal bowl the next morning, i opened the box and looked for the license plate. i was disappointed at first, hoping for the familiar blue/yellow of the PA license plate like on my mom's car, as the one i pulled from the box was maroon. after fumbling with the thick plastic overlay (to keep the metallic goodness from the pencil shaving nutrition of the cereal, i suppose), i read the word "winner" on the plate. yelling "i won the bike, i won the bike" had little to no impact on my mom and sister, who had endured me shouting "i just won $1,000" from a game piece from a Keebler cookie package just the night before. healthy food was not allowed in our house, apparently. long story short (or is it too late for that?), i mailed in the license plate as directed, and waited anxiously for th ebike to be delivered. when it arrived, the "golden hawk" black bike was about 300 pounds, right around the time when most of the other kids were talking their parents into buying the new "mongoose" or "diamondback" trick bikes that were just coming out. never one to look a gift horse in the mouth, i rode that thing til the welding on the support bar on the handlebars broke. but the joy of being "that kid" and telling my story the first day of school next year was unsurpassed. ah, i will regale my grandchildren with this tale...

Thats cool a somebody won that prize, and from Pottstown to boot. Did you attend Pottstown Schools or OJR or St Pius? I went to Pottstown graduated in 1992. My email is kharvickin2002@yahoo.com

I actually won the bike too! The only problem was that I was ummm probably 3 years old and not big enough to ride it. Growing in a house with 6 kids we had to take turns with the prizes in the cereal boxes and it happened to be my turn but my sister ended up with the bike. I think I was happy with the license plate anyway.

Me and my sisters each had one and they were put on our bikes too. I thought they were SO COOL.

Hey does anyone remember the Honeycomb promotion where you could win a 'treasure chest full of board games'? I think this was back in the early 80's. I actually won this and even though the comercials clearly showed the full retail version of the games, my 'top prize' was a manila envelope with cardboard cut-outs of all the games. It was truly pathetic and God I wish I saved it, but I was so angry I tossed it in the trash the day I got it. I don't think anyone believes me though so I've been trying to find anyone else who may remember this promotion.

I have a whole stack of them. I can take pictures and upload them soon. I have more than 10. Someone gave them to me a couple years ago and I kept them because I knew they were collectibles.

I ALSO WON THE BIKE IT WAS THE ONLY BIKED I EVER HAD AS A KID AND I RODE IT TILL IT COULDN'T BE RIDDEN ANY MORE! IT'S A GREAT MEMORY.

I won the bike too. I was in the cereal isle of the local super market when a kid took the last box of Honeycomb. I grabbed it out of his hands and dug out the winning plate. I laughed and laughed. I used to ride it by that kid's house every day. Ah, Good times.

I have two complete sets of the license plates fromm 88 and 89 does anyone know there value

Like OMG!! I won the bike, too. DO you have ten fingers & ten toes? OMG! So do I!!! You all are so full of crap.
