If you had a bike in the 80s or 90s, you had one of these clacking away on the back wheel.

This enamel pin features a ‘quicksand’ port in the middle of it. This allows the coloured glitter inside to flow slowly through the water inside as it’s moved. It’s available in pink or blue.

 

Pin Details

  • 31mm tall

  • 5mm deep (the thickest pin I’ve ever made!)

  • Circular port in the middle with glitter and water inside

  • Two pins on the back for stability

  • Two yellow rubber clutches

  • Two colours available

The origins

These pins are based on the icon prize that came in cereal from the 1980s and 1990s. These reflectors clicked onto your wheels and they came in a variety of colours. Depending how much cereal your family ate, you may not have had them all. I had the Light blue and orange ones in my house, but a kid on our road had a whole wheel covered in them. Literally dozens. They said they got them all in one pack and I still don’t believe their little bowl-cut lying head.

Anyway, these were a major success and the campaign ran twice - once in ‘86 and again in ‘90.

Cereal Prizes

In my opinion these are the greatest git to ever emerge from a carboard box full of breakfast. You can see a full list of the best cereal prizes ones over on the DailyEdge, but the only ones that come close are the pencil toppers or the Wallace and Gromit figurines that still adorn my family’s ensuite.

This brings back a lot of memories. The glitter compartment brought some interactivity to the pin.

This is class. It's a lovely, chunky pin with a great bit of weight to it. The reflector bit is glitter suspended in liquid and it's gorgeous.

The absolute bang of nostalgia off this. Miss the days of rooting through cereal boxes to claim my plastic prize, but at least now I have this pin.

Love this pin, very cool. My only suggestion would be to make it a two pin pin, as it is a bit top heavy with the head and rotates a bit. Which aligns with the real reflector but my personal taste'd prefer to have it in one spot. Small quibble but otherwise love it and have gotten compliments on it.
