Real Products - assistance needed
« on: November 17, 2014, 05:55:22 PM »
I'm attempting to compile a master spreadsheet of everything Wacky related ever released. One of the columns is "Real Product". I've filled in everything unique through ANS6, does anyone have lists for subsequent series? I can share the file with you if you'd like to help - crowd-sourcing Wacky data, woo!

No one? Ok, I guess I'll just have to do it myself.

But if anyone else wants to pitch in, let me know!

I don't know if this is necessary but if you enjoy doing it then have at it.

I wish I had some time to help out here, since I actually think this is very useful (from an artist's perspective)!

Necessary? Ha! It's all in the name of Wacky research, the results will be fun.

Are you looking images of real products? I have a nicely organized archive of these. It's a work in progress! Just starting to build an ANS12 real products gallery now.

I'm just looking for the names of the products, but what you're working on sounds cool!

I just blasted through ANS8-11 and have only one I can't figure out: What is "Legends Of Ozzy" (billboard) spoofing? Oh wait, "Legends of Oz", duh!

Off the top of my head, I recall a dessert named "Junket" which
I'm sure the "Junk" parody is based on.

And I think there is an old thread (but not that old) where Dave
posted a lot of the original artwork, along with a pic of the
real product.  Probably under some generic "Old School 5" thread?

Did we ever resolve the real product for Fling 'Ems from the 16th series? Greg's site lists Bite 'Ems or Flip 'Ems.

Dave is the only person to even remember these, right?

It's fuzzy, but there was some old bit about that Wacky and the real product going on with Dave S. Can't recall details...

That would be cool to see the actual product, don't think we ever have seen the image...I actually tried Googling it and had no luck.

I vividly remember them. Flip 'ems. I can see myself walking down Colonial Road in Brooklyn with that little canister in my hand. Mine were purple and white.
