Who doesn’t love some gross humor.
Come on, admit it. The lowbrow can still be funny.
We were taught this at an early age thanks to the folks at Topps who produced Wacky Packages stickers.
You remember don’t you. A pack of stickers with parodies of actual products available on the local grocer’s shelves reformed into a panoply of bulging eyeballs and worms and brains. They aren’t quite as odd as the Creepy Kids in the real ads we featured recently, but they’re still out there.
Now, to recall the origins of the icky stickies, a coffee table book has been produced with many of the classics included in bold colorful reproductions on the pages.
A few of my favorites are below and if you want to see tons more go to Greg Grant’s Wacky Packages Web page.
