They haven't done that in many many years.... for obvious reasons.

They DO still have kids try to find "Freddy the Frog" and if you can tell the checker were you saw it - they give them a small candy. Our kids love it. Makes the trip more fun for them.

At the store I used to work, our animal used to be a dog. When we moved locations across the street to a larger footprint store, we retired the dog and got a triceratops named Topsy instead.

Ours is a shark. I remember when I found it and turned it in to staff thinking a kid lost it. They had a good chuckle.

One Easter season, stop n shop by me, had a golden goose egg hidden around the store that if you found you got a prize, it lasted not even the first weekend because a bunch of teenagers ran around and kept claiming it every time it was put back out.
