We are back to early childhood, when we were better entertained/satisfied by
the container in which the toy came than with the actual toy inside. The
toy was just what it was made to be, but the container could be many things
to a child: a house, a truck, a car, a cave, a castle, a mountain, the moon,
a planet, a space ship, etc. and much later in life a pinhole camera!).
