Cheerios cereal from General Mills has a current promotion of the movie Kung Fu Panda 2 with "Spin Fighters" inside the box. It consists of a spring starter with an "aerial top" (1 of 8 characters). The instructions say to point up to get it to fly (it works pretty well) or down onto a table to make it spin like a top. It does spin on the table, but lacking a tip it is hardly a top. Less than 0.1 grams of extra plastic would have made it a real top. It would also have worked as a blow top, like an old Cracker Jack premium. Lost opportunity.
