Now this is for the people that grew up in the 90s, both cihildren and teens:
Does anyone remember Lay's Planet Points? You know the points that were on back of the chip bags, which if you collected like 300 of them you could "win" a prize? I remember when I was like 8  and I collected about 300 Planet Points, which I mailed in and got a Yo-Yo. I thought that it was the most awesome thing in the world. It even lighted up! Ahh...talk about pop culture.  :)That was one of the reasons that I loved the 90s.

I remember yes.  "Planet Lunch" I think it was called. :)  I never participated in it, but they advertised the hell out of it.

Yeah, "Planet Lunch" was the name of the game, and the points were called "Planet Points".

Yeah, I remember the "planet points" very well, but like audkal, I didn't actively participate in it I don't think.

How long did the game last? I seem to remember seeing those on Lays chips even into 2000 or 2001.

I remember those in when I was in Elementry school those were big my bestfriend told everyone to give him there points lol

I remember those, but i think they were called "ploids". when did they stop doing that? I remember that i got a mini safe from saving those things, but i busted it just like other toys i now wish i haven't broke.

I remember trying to collect as much ploids as I could but then I lost it all the next day.  :\'(

They stopped doing thoes around 2000.

Wow, I sure do remember this.

When I was in elementary school, when we got backs of chips with our lunch, a few crazy kids went around the lunchroom with TRASH BAGS asking everyone for their points. I didn't collect them, so I always gave mine away.

Crazy kids.

Did anyone actually send them in and win anything? I'd like to know.

I remember having Lunch in the 90s.

I got a mini safe and I also think i got a inflatable chair, but those are long gone now.
Also i found an old posting on google groups about them and what you could win.

i remember those me and my sister collected them like off the street and the numbers up fast and she got mini boom box and i got a yack back keychain we loved it it gave us something to do and we got free stuff because we never bought one bag of chips.

I found my  mine safe and can't get it open! Dose anyone remember the combo?
