It said it will release some 70m promotional packs from 2 May, and the collectable items will include: The Rapide-o-Matic Preserve Dispenser, The Wallace & Gromit Holder Egg Cups and The Safe-o-Matic Lunchbox.

The company said the Rapido-o-Matick Preserve Dispenser is based on the Wallace & Gromit motorbike and sidecar and features a pot in the sidecar to hold a spread or preserve. Customers can load up the pot, pull the motorbike back and send their toast topping across the table.

Its Wallace & Gromit Egg cups feature character faces and have a soldier holder so that consumers can stack up bread for dipping.

The tokens will also allow customers to claim a Safe-o-Matic children’s lunchbox.
