Wacky Package Stickers...anyone remember these?

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...

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

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.

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...
