One of the things I like to do is track down images of the exact "real-life" packaging that was spoofed in Wacky Packages. Some of the earliest products from the vintage era are very hard to track down! I combed Flickr, eBay and a host of other websites, but come up empty handed. Most of the more well-known products are easier to find. I finally found a somewhat decent image of the 1967-1968 Laddie Boy can (Maddie Boy) from the original die-cuts set. If anyone has other rare images of "real-life" packaging they would like to share, please post them here. Thanks! For those interested, here's the Laddie Boy can image I found...
there are a ton on my websitehttp://www.wackypackage.com/Wacky%20Packs/HTML%20Stuff/project.html
There's also a fairly robust existing thread on the forum, on this topic:http://www.wackypackagesforum.com/index.php?topic=163.0
Greg also has a section:http://www.wackypackages.org/stickers/real_products.html
There was also a big big thread on this, that I had contributed a bunch to, on Greg's old forum. Guess I need to start going through it all again to post here. If anyone can find the old Wacky Forum thread for Original Product images... Please post a link to it here. Or on the other product images thread.I started a weekly column of CollectingCandy.com dedicated to matching Wackys to the original packaging pieces I have in my collection - so its a topic I care about and think has a value. Context is important. :-)
