Compared to cheap plastic toys of today, that sub was completely functional. I am amazed.
My mother bought me one of these in 1953, came from "BATTLE CREEK MICHIGAN".
Played with it in the bath tub, I'm now 72 years old.
Im 71 had one too..lol those were the days. I always checked for the best cereal toy.
Guys...I am 67, and the promo in Canada was "send $0.908 and 2 box tops from any Kellogg's cereal to Battle Creek" and they sent you, in the mail, a fairly large version of this baking soda farting sub...eventually they branched out to frogmen as well. The fun of anticipation was excruciating, waiting for the usual, "4 to 6 weeks delivery" seemed like an eternity...LOL They then offered a little version free in "specially marked packages". Didn't you try and talk your parents into opening the cereal box from the bottom, because that was always where the little prize was found, or opening the box and pouring out all the cereal into a big bowl to get to the prize?
I'm glad I was a kid back then...it was fantastic...
+Aidan Kovach ...right on. right on. right on
Chuck Pringle u sir lived during the best days in America
Chuck Pringle wow Chuck I bet you wish you still had it now. But I guess as you got older you found something more fun to play with in the bath 🤣
I HAD ONE!! I HAD ONE!! Haven't thought about it in sixty years.
As a kid during the '80's I'd buy whatever cereal had the coolest toy in it. I remember Captain Crunch offered 3 or 4 different ships that would cruise with baking powder and a sub that dived. I guess lawsuits keep toys out of cereal boxes nowadays so thanks again lawyers for something else lost.

These are designed for kids and still sold these days. It's not like there is any immediate danger and an adult would surely be the one to handle the baking soda.
I already have this one can you give the name for the boats that cruise?
So I could buy it on amazon or ebay
If u find out TELL ME plz🙂
4:04 that is how my grandfather farts when he is sitting on a chair.
A Hardworking Guy lmao!
A Hardworking Guy wow hahaha
Hahahahaaa
Lol probably how you will fart one day too :)
Only instead a bubble its shit.
Those were in the Captain Crunch cereal box.
yes i had one i stepped on it in the bubble bath mom threw away
I remember they had the Tony the Tiger ones also.
Yep, we got bored of using the baking powder and just jammed a rock in there and pulled it through a swimming pool to play with it. lol
I remember getting an orange one in froot loops
David Williams I have it
I never seen a person put cocaine In a submarine
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon wildlands
PABLO ESCOBAR
Its common sense to transport cocain with homemade subs. Seems you arent in the buisness
It's common practice dea have a few on display in Florida. Now they weld packages of cocaine big metal boxes .on the side of giant cargo tankers unbeknownst to them. They're pretty resourceful criminals.
Conversation between border patrol and personwhose car is being checked: "I am carrying these toy submarines for my kids. They contain baking powder." BP: "Mmmmmh, are you sure? The whole 650.000 of them?"
A salute to those brave sailors who died while serving in Submarines. 💖
You got a sub
Dragon Man a 'sub'marine?
-NX4-1NsTiNcT _ subwoofer?
Dragon Man Or 'sub'scriber?
I need 10hr version of the sub going around and diving.
I had one of these in the 1950's. It was the best kid's toy, EVER! I can't believe whoever made this video opened up the package. Unless they are available again, it was worth lots of $$$.
I had those when I was a kid. I was around 6 years old. How did I ever figure out how to play with them without a youtube video giving me a step by step detailed instruction. I must have been a genius.
My brother and I got one of these back in the day for 2 Kellogs cornflake boxtops and 75 cents and two weeks later it arrived in the mail. We spent hours playing with it in the kitchen sink until supper time
paul austin No, I think it just cuts into the profit margin.
paul austin here in mexico they put freebies in ceral boxes but is like in the box, not in the cereal
Music was a nice touch
My brother and I would beat the crap out of each other over this thing!!!
hah
Old toys = best toys.
I had one of these........I miss having it 😭
Have someone make the lid thingy with a 3D printer.
i'm pretty sure the whole sub can be printed.
Amazon . $4.95 . Exact same one . www.amazon.com/Toysmith-TSM798010-Diving-Sub-Toy/dp/B000V4KSHA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1520272258&sr=8-1&keywords=baking+soda+sub
Anyone remember the little gray plastic aircraft carrier that came in Chex cereal? It launched tiny jets by a rubber band. I had one.... must have been around 1966 or 67.
Every kid in the 50s-early 60s had one or four, I did.
back in the early 2000's when i was around 3-6 i would play with these in the bath tub
The simple things in life are often the best. The imagination fills in the gaps, and there isn't a computer game or gizmo on earth that can match that. Thanks for sharing. I just bought two of these cool little subs. One to use and have around, the other to keep in that awesome retro packaging !
Remember the frogmen that did the same thing?
yes i do!!! ya sent in one kelloggs frosted flakes box top and fifty cents
the ya watched the mail every day for two weeks what a joy the day the
package arrived ahhh the memories if being kid warm summer afternoons
lying in the grass, say important things, like " that cloud looks like a---"
They had this offered also on a cereal box for 25 or 50 cents with a box top from the cereal that you sent in.
bring back many of memories when I was a young boy in the fifties.
ordered mine through the mail and it seems like I've waited forever and finally came.
All the old toys are the simplest yet the most radical!
My dad had this when he was a kid, then when I was about 8yo, I found it at my grandparents house and took it home and played with it in the bath tub too. It's funny how many memories this video gave me over some little toy sub.. lol..
They still put those in cereal boxes in the 1970's. It required baking soda to be put in to make it work.
I had one of these as a kid in the early ‘50s. It was a premium in a box of cereal.
I'm 6 years old again!
Cool! Had couple when I was a kid. Cheap fun. Thanks for the post.
I sent away for one of these circa 1970. The waiting was intense. Had fun with it when it arrived.
I still have mine. Love it. Thanks for a great video.
I think kids today would still play with that. It's timeless. I was an 80s kid, and I had a bright yellow one. Not sure where it came from, probably cereal. I never got mine to work though. Pretty sure I used baking soda. I tossed it thinking it was b/s.
1950’s toy still has it 🤗
Just like the Real Thing!!!!!!
Great music
One of the last Made In USA... Love it
I got one of those submarines in a box of cereal. I used to fill up the kitchen sink and play with that damn thing for hours
This made me smile. I used to have one and it reminded me of the good old days
Very cool. This toy would have been a blast to own when I was growing up in Mexico.
I remember the originals well.You sent it cereal box tops and 25 cents. Couldnt wait for mine to arrive.
We use our imaginations a lot back in the day. A simple stick can turn into a horse, a rifle, a blow dart or a staff. We make our own stories when we play. One day we play the hero the next thing you know we become the villain. Anything goes was the rule and all the kids seemed to know it, like a subconscious code that fires up the instincts of the young mind. We go outside a lot coming back just in time before supper. We were adventurers we were born to explore. Sometimes we get hurt, sometimes we fall, we get into fights sometimes we even burn ourselves. The mind has no limits. It's what kids now a days are missing...
this is the soundtrack of disneys version of the walt Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
Rickelectro awesome piece of historic information. Thanks man you made my day because I have brain damage and well it’s just interesting
BIG DRAGON
Blessed be!
I used to get a version of these in cereal boxes , they worked and as a kid made me happy 😃
That’s probably the coolest toy I have ever seen
I had one of these a LONG time ago! Lots of fun!!!
Wow amazing
Man I had one if these. I loved it and played with its lot. Wish incould find it now.
Fun. I remember having one of these many years ago. Thanks for sharing
I had one of these in the 50's. It was fun!
I had one of those when i was a kid and it really worked! I wish i still had it. It might be worth something today since it was an original from the '50's
I remember this! Fun to play with
RUB-A-DUB DUB, LEAD in fun in the TUB! Lol
Now thats a cool toy !!! What a great video.!!!
I remember my dad buying one of these suckers at a gift shop of an aquarium in Cleveland, OH. It's still in its packaging as of this comment.
Very nice toy !
That's pretty cool
Pretty cool
Frikken Amazing! Music was spectacular too!
ford lane It's from the 1954 Diseny's version of 20000 leagues under the sea
Qué submarino mas sencillo y bonito...
Nunca lo había visto... y eso que soy nacido del 60...
Juguetes sencillos y bien hechos...
Aquí aplica el refrán: ...'Todo tiempo pasado, fue mejor'...
Gracias.
Venceremos1960 los submarinos nucleares son mejores
Efectivamente, Kellogs los obsequio en sus cereales. 1966 mas o menos.
Pretty dang neat
I had one of these as a kid in late 80s early 90s. It was way more bigger and i use to play with it in a bath. One time i slipped and hit my jaw on the edge of the tub, blood was coming out quite alot, which scared me and it also reguired 5 sticthes.
I want to see a giant one
Love the music to this
I liked the part where the sub dove under the water 👍
I don't know why but its made me very happy 🤔😂😂
I had one of these
Love the 20000 Leagues under the Sea Background music
Only if toys were this good today 😔😔
Had one! Also had scuba divers that worked on the same principle. There also was a sub that had a squeeze bulb on a thin hose, that inflated a bladder inside to make it surface, also, if you squeezed the bulb hard, it would launch a torpedo
Thank you so much🥳😇
I had one when I was a kid too. I'm 67.
I can remember a toy like this that came in a cerial box back in the 60s. There was also a speedboat that worked this way
He got a sub for his cheese! Ahh that joke really cuts me up it’s so punny! Lol
The good old days
I had a larger sub made to work with soda syphon tablets.It worked well but the tablets were expensive.The sub was darkblue and looked like the Nautilus nuclear sub. The same Sub you have came in Marks and Spencers Christmas Crackers in the 70,s.Simpler and better times
lot of fun
Dive... DIVE... then after we make cup-cakes!
Amazing entertainment!
still have mine from when I was a kid
that is so cool
Those were fun. Got mine in a cereal box
Lmao, at the start of the video, I thought a quarter of my screen was messed up
I had one of those in the 70s!
I had two of them. One like that except that the bottom thingie where the bubbles come out was clear plastic, and I had a much smaller one that came in a cereal box.
I hd one of those, came in a blister pack hanging card at the local corner store back in the late 70's.
Actually pretty freaking cool good old fashion fun
I got one of these! I still have it here somewhere!
Old people frequent UA-cam too... Today I learned
*A Few Notes:*
A much smaller version of the sub was "free" inside a cereal box. It was a single piece, slightly softer plastic with a single holed, small metal chambered disk fitted into the baking powder chamber (Inserted at the bottom). Cute as a bug's ear, and about as small.
The original large submarine which had to be ordered and paid for had a more rigid plastic hull than the small unit. The conning tower cover was a more flexible plastic however. The grated bubble chamber on the bottom was a hard clear plastic piece bonded to the hull. Both were hitched to the star of the USS Nautilus (SSN-571), however the conning tower was placed at the center for balance on the "model". I sliced the conning tower from my large sub and cemented it more forward in order to more accurately resemble the SSN-571 profile. After using both of them a few times they were thrown away. I just wanted to confirm their operation, which is quite dismal since they do not keep a submerged attitude with forward motion.
Can we improve on this? Perhaps we will one day be able to order nano-bots crafted accurately in the shape of any sub we desire, and have them travelling in our circulatory system as blood-clot scrubbers.
As others mentioned there were similar-action frog-men, but I found the bubble chamber, formed as a cancerous cantaloupe on one of the swim fins, quite off putting.
For a real time-waster project you could make any number of Baking Soda "Action Toys" with a 3D printer.
And finally, how many of you older folks found you became a champion of whatever brand cereal these damnable kid-bribers/mother-nagger toys were placed in? My sisters actually speculated that the toy displaced what they really wanted (by so many flakes) - namely, the damn cereal itself.
Who built this toy was genius
I used to have a little battle ship that would putt around the tub when you put baking powder in it. It was about the size of that sub or a little smaller.
I the 70's I had a version that would glide forward while diving and surfacing. I've been looking for another one.
I seem to recall owning a similar toy back in the 70s, a sub based USS Seaview from the 60s SciFi series 'Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea'. You had to put in some pellets in the bottom of the model for it to submerge and surface multiple times, pretty cool toy.
I have one of these I got from somewhere in Pittsburgh a few years ago.
One could make a fancier version of this too, such as having a special bubble release mechanism that doesn't require the sub to tilt to the side, or even adding a propulsion system with an elastic band or baking soda plus vinegar.
These used to come in the Marinela Submarinos (Mexican twinkies) when I was little
Huh. That's pretty neat.
When my father was young he was not very wealthy, and grew up with 16 other siblings. When he got this submarine toy in the mail after saving up he said he was ecstatic. He went right to the sink, filled it with water, put the sub in the water, and it blew right into that side drainage hole in the sink
Dean Calkins
Damn, That's pretty sad
So goood
Nice
For added realism, place some ice cubes in the bowl to mimic the sub diving under the polar ice cap just like the real USS Nautilus did.
Forgot to mention - place spare ice cubes in a glass, add bourbon, then sit back and relax - drink in hand - watching the Nautilus do its thing and pretending its 1958 all over again.
