Wacky Packs!

RollerKaty at the Rollerblog reminded me about Wacky Packs. For the uninitiated, they were stickers that sported messed up versions of household products. Who could forget such “Darn, I wish they were real!” products like Fang: The Drink for Vampires?

If you are one of those children who later moved on to Garbage Pail Kids when the whole Wacky production screeched to a halt, you might be interested, thrilled, or shocked to know that now there is a coffee table book on the very subject. All the Wacky Packages and the corresponding history are presented in their full glory, finally!

If this thought intrigues you, read more about it HERE. Do I smell a Christmas present? I know that it will definitely be on my list. It is never too early to shop.

I am shocked and yet thrilled by this news! I loved those cards and the horrible tasting strip of gum they came with (if I remember correctly). They appealed to my warped sense of humor, evident even at a young age.

I think kids are warped in general I think some grownups just forget that.
