Those are really nice!
Great to see.
cereal boxes have always brought small treasures everywhere in the world


But I would kill for old Colgate/Dr. Rabbit toothpaste boxes that could be transformed
into very simple vehicles with just one or two pre-scored cuts, and no more than
three or four folds of one of the sides to give volume to the cockpit. The windows,
and wheels/tracks were just printed on the sides, while bumpers and headlights
were printed on the lids.

I remember at least two versions of it from my childhood. One wheeled,
and one with tracks. If my memory is right, the wheels on the first one
were also pre-cut.

But I guess those are impossible to find now, as they were promo items
given to kids in primary school to "promote dental health" (or, more realistically,
to ensure future fidelity to the brand) in the early 1980s. Certainly they didn't
last long. I highly doubt anyone kept a toothpaste box from that time.
