Wacky Package Stickers...anyone remember these?

[Longgrain]

It seems I still have quite a few myself.

Made in the seventies they were basically Mad magazine style rip offs of typical grocery products.

I had quite a huge collection at one point... I'm going to go find some more, if anyone else has any they want to add, post them here...




This one's a real pain to look at...





And this one still seems particular timely...

Or maybe a baseball card store...Luckily I still have a shoe box full of them...which I'm not parting with BTW. :P

That's what I'm talking about...I should have thought "Google", but I didn't think anyone besides me remembered them.

15. Oh my god!!! What flashbacks I'm having

there was a time when stickers were all the rage. These are so cool.

[donheld]

16. Well i had forgotten them. They were a kick

[Longgrain]

17. Thanks...I remember most if not all of this...

In fact the "Generally Demented" light bulb guy use to always remind me of a kid I used to go to school with.

[Red State Rebel]

18. Oh! I remember those!

Plastered all over everyone's notebooks.

[On the Road]

19. Mad Had Another Kind of Sticker, Too

that didn't imitate product but would say things like:

SALT is in the other shaker, you idiot!

or

FREE THE NEW YORK SEVEN million!

[Longgrain]

20. Here's another one...

For all us stinking liberal hippies...

[DawgHouse]

21. I remember those

Also, there was something similar called Garbage Pail Kids.

22. Here's mine

Stuck to a jr high shop project if it wasn't for that they would have disappeared years ago. They are the only reason the shop project is still around.

Thanks for mentioning these things. I never could remember what they were actually called.

[Longgrain]

23. Looks like you have most of the ones I have...

I've never seen the cut wrong one before tho...

[electricmonk]

24. I wonder...

How many lawsuits would be filed if a company tried to market these today.

[Longgrain]

25. Not only slanderous

but there are a few I have that are pretty politically incorrect and graphicaly disturbing...

Which might be why I love them so...
