In the 1950s, boxes of Quaker Oats cereals offered deeds of land in the Yukon territory, one square inch each. North American children were mesmerized by this advertising strategy which also renewed interest for the radio show Sergeant Preston of the Yukon. While eating Quaker cereals, the children became landowners of the great Canadian northern land. However, after 50 years, did they lose their right for this land? <46mn 46s>Language:EnglishNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
