Products That Should Have Been
At first glance, the 3-D Stuffed Wacky Packs may strike you as cute but wholly resistible. At second glance, you'll find you can't stop giggling. By the third glance - and trust me, there will be a third glance - you will be making plans for where you are going to put yours or who you're going to give one to as wild 'n' crazy gifts.
These items have that train wreck factor big-time. You can't stop looking. You're irresistibly drawn. You have to have one…or five.
So what exactly are these 3-D Stuffed Wacky Packs anyway? Well, remember Ritz Crackers, Sun-Maid Seedless Raisins and Hawaiian Punch? Well, how about Ratz Enjoy These Crackers that has a pic of a rat eating a very Ritz-like cracker on the front of a red box, Slum-Maid Seedy Raisins, and Hawaiian Punks which beat you to a fruit juicy pulp?
These packs look exactly like the items they are spoofing, as well, with a few minor adjustments, like the rat on the box.
Remember Mott's Apple Juice? How about Mutt's Apple Juice? There are pictures of dogs with apples that have worms coming out of them. Then there's the Gearios box, featuring a cartoon character happily munching away on a bowl of metal gears while his teeth fall out. You have to love it! LOL
Actually, come to think of it, Cheerios should really start a line of gear-shaped cereal.
You can also have Struggle brand fabric softener. Oops. It's not a fabric softener. That's just gross. There are Krusty Krumbs Doughnuts, which succeed mostly in making me think of the clown on The Simpsons.
The last two are Suffertone to prevent sunburn, windburn and heartburn, and Gutterade sewer water. Yum.
