I remember sending away for 3-d viewers that worked with the slides in
Shredded Wheat (3d dinosaurs! Bigger and brighter than a ViewMaster.)
I'd hit up neighbors and relatives for their boxtops.

But I *really* liked the things that came in Jello and Sheriff Pudding
(little disks with pictures such as classic cars, USAF aircraft,
hockey players, etc) in Canada, and the 1x3" cards that came in Red
Rose tea (Mammals, Flowers, etc.) Later they had 1" tall china
figurines of animals and such.
