Okay, This Is Kinda Old School, But Does Anybody Remember "Wacky Packages"?



They were the stickers made by a company called Topps that spoofed on different brand names of products that we use every day.

For instance:

Pepsi was called "Poopsie"
Frosted Flakes was called "Frosted Snakes"
Taster's Choice (a coffee brand) was called "Taster's Choke"

and so on and so forth. I remember my brothers and I collected them when I was little. Did any of you collect them whe you were young?

Here is the Wacky Packages official website to check out if you're interested:

I had those, but I remember them being more like baseball cards when I had them. I wonder if they changed them? How old are you?

I was way into these as a kid. The 1970's originals were all stickers.
