Stereo Bischuit
In 1936, the character Piccolo appeared as the advertising mascot for Stereo products, which were now called Piccolo biscuits and cookies. Piccolo played the lead role in three series of 40 gummed pictures with rhymes on the back. These pictures were also included with gingerbread and often still bear the traces of that tasty adventure.

The first two series, titled "Piccolo's Journey to the Moon" and "Piccolo's Journey to Atlantis," were accompanied by a simple sticker album in the form of a text strip with rhymes below the pictures.

The third series, in which Piccolo ends up in the prehistoric era with his jet plane, does not have a title. The pictures state: "If you stick them in a notebook, you can enjoy these adventures even more." After the Piccolo series, two more series of 40 pictures without borders were released, called "Sports in Pictures I" and "Sports in Pictures II," which closely resemble the sports pictures from Blue Band in 1955. Additionally, there was another series of unnumbered topographic photo cards.

In 1960, Stereo also released pictures for a thin album of Ouwehands Zoo, again without borders. This was the last publication by Stereo Bakery.
