ebay Find…1974 Wacky Packages

wacky

This one is from the 10th series of Wacky Packages, released in 1974.

Man I love these!!  This image available with BUY NOW option for $4.29.  Yes, one sticker, $4.29.  This does NOT include the extra $1.00 for shipping.

Quick aside, when I was working with Fathead, I got to spend a weekend at the Geppi Entertainment Museum in Baltimore where I got to see their framed original, uncut sheets of Wacky Packages.  Nerd heaven!!

Everything Old is New Again…

A few weeks back, we were introduced to Tactical Bacon, fully cooked bacon in a can.  I even purchased a can of TacBac and it now resides in a place of honor on my desk so that I shall be prepared in the event of the coming Zombie Apocalypse.

Color me surprised when I found this on the interwebs courtesy of Dave’s Cupboard

Three ounces of pressed, pre-fried bacon…in the shape of a small brick!  Glorious! 

Dave even found a 1963 article about the amazing invention of freeze-dried food in “Sports Illustrated”.

This was his find, so if you’d like to read the article (it’s quite interesting and funny at the same time), then head to Dave’s site and click his link.
