These were awesome. I collected them and still have them. I wonder if any other FBG's still have theirs. I wish they still sold them. They were so funny. For you young FBG's they were spoofs of products being sold at the time. They were sold in packs with that nasty gum.

Are we talking soup to nuts here?

The old ones were the best. They weren't afraid of lawsuits back then. Try to do this today and you'd be shut down before they hit the market.

I still have about 200 of these from the 70s. My favorite being "Pabst Blew Ribbon". Especially since that's my go to beer these days.

This wasn't a wacky pack but it should have been.

Those things had me rolling on the floor laughing. I used to pay for them with bags full of pennies until the mean guy at the convenience store yelled at me.

 

[Scoresman]

Are these the precursor to Garbage Pail Kids?

 

[PIK95]

I had them. My older cousins also introduced me to candy cigs at the same time. Probably around 78-82.

 

[Loan Sharks]

I still use Head and Boulders Shampoo to this day.

Loved these as a kid. They were stickers and I bought lots of these and stuck them to the back of my bedroom door. A nice solid wood door. My mom was pissed, but she let me leave them up cause they were too hard to get off.

Tic Toc was one of my favorites

I used to love these and stuck them onto my headboard- classy.

fwiw- they are remaking them... just gave my son (8) a couple packs. they're about as dumb as you remember. "Poop-tarts".

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Like = you remember them

Share= you really remember them

Type = you love Jesus

we have a speciality gift shop around the corner here in NYC that carries them.

 

[Jobber]

Welp. I just ordered a box on Amazon.

 

[netnalp]

I have a poster of Gadzooka Bubble Gum somewhere in the attic.

 

[Brony]

Wish I still had my Cracked Jerk t-shirt from 1975.

 

[McGarnicle]

Here in my office I've got a cabinet covered in all kinds of stickers, including Commie cleanser, Creep toothpaste and Chock Full of Nuts & Bolts.

 

[The Man With No Name]

Brother and I used to put them on our dresser drawers among other places

 

[PIK95]

How do you give Boulders?

i got a timeout for comparing fbg posters to these stickers a few years ago, so tread lightly.

oh wait, that might have been magic cards.

my fav

Saw a card show at a local mall about 10 years carrying tons of Wacky Pack sticker cards among all the sports cards. Kinda wished I had dropped a few bucks on them when I saw them. Cool that they are being remade ... wonder if its the classic 1970s designs, or updates for modern products?

 

[Doug B]

In spirit, yes. I don't think they were manufactured by the same company, though (I write that without checking).

EDIT: Whoops, shoulda checked -- Wacky Packs and GPK cards were, in fact, both made by Topps.

my son's cards are updated... I'll try to post when I get home- I don't remember any of them.

 

[tonydead]

...and you used to be able to collect 9 of them that when flipped over would make a larger poster of one of the ads.

ETA: All kinds for sale on ebay.

ETA2: I'll bet that gum tastes real good.

ETA3: Only $12,000!!!

 

[Fariq]

I enjoy the old gum.

 

[grateful zed]

this could be bigger than the acme posters.

I still have mine. Haven't looked at them in quite some time.
