Weet-Bix cards are a series of collectors' cards issued in cereal boxes by the Sanitarium Health and Wellbeing Company in Australia and New Zealand.

Contents

Sanitarium started the Weet-Bix cards in 1942 in Australia [1] to market their Weet-Bix cereal. The company later expanded the cards to its Granose, Bixies, Cerix and later Puffed Wheat, Puffed Rice, Weeta Puffs, Weeta Flakes and Corn Flakes brands. [2]

In 1972, Sanitarium released a different series of Weet-Bix cards in their New Zealand products. These cards were sometimes similar to the Australian series. but frequently had a New Zealand focus.

Sanitarium discontinued the Australian cards in 2012.

Prizes are promotional items—small toys, games, trading cards, collectables, and other small items of nominal value—found in packages of brand-name retail products that are included in the price of the product with the intent to boost sales, similar to toys in kid's meals. Collectable prizes produced in series are used extensively—as a loyalty marketing program—in food, drink, and other retail products to increase sales through repeat purchases from collectors. Prizes have been distributed through bread, candy, cereal, cheese, chips, crackers, laundry detergent, margarine, popcorn, and soft drinks. The types of prizes have included comics, fortunes, jokes, key rings, magic tricks, models, pin-back buttons, plastic mini-spoons, puzzles, riddles, stickers, temporary tattoos, tazos, trade cards, trading cards, and small toys. Prizes are sometimes referred to as "in-pack" premiums, although historically the word "premium" has been used to denote an item that is not packaged with the product and requires a proof of purchase and/or a small additional payment to cover shipping and/or handling charges.
