Description[]
Kellogg's Company teamed up with Mattel and NASCAR to offer buyers of selected Kellogg's cereals the opportunity to send away for a free NASCAR Hot Wheels Pull 'N Go mini-car. This marks the first time Mattel has offered the mini-cars in the United States. More than 37 million boxes of Kellogg's cereal will feature a mail-in offer for the 11 different mini-cars. Ten cars display the cereal brand logo and one car is a replica of the official #5 Kellogg's Chevrolet driven by two-time NASCAR champion Terry Labonte. A Pull 'N Go car is operated by rolling it backward to coil an internal spring. When the car is released, the spring uncoils to move the car forward.
The cars are a striking resemblance to Terry Labonte's 2000 Monte Carlo Stocker, with each different car being based on a different cereal within the Kellogg's brand, all with Terry Labonte's name on them. Participating cereals are Kellogg's Corn Flakes, Kellogg's Honey Crunch Corn Flakes, Kellogg's Smacks, Kellogg's Cocoa Krispies, Kellogg's AppleJacks, Kellogg's Raisin Bran, Kellogg's Froot Loops, Kellogg's Rice Krispies,Kellogg's Frosted Mini-Wheats (original and Bite-Size) and Kellogg's Crispix.
Identify them is very tough to do, as even when they are sealed, there is no mention of Hot Wheels/ Mattel anywhere on the packaging. Only on the base a Hot Wheels logo can be found, and if you have the original cereal box, it will show that the promotion was a partnership between Kellogg's and Hot Wheels. (See Gallery)
All cars are the #5 car.
