Gatoraid and Gatorade...

For me, having something extra inside the container ("Gatoraid," "Log Cave-In," "Gormel") always gave the Wacky an added element, yet one more detail to discover and appreciate.

Always like the comparisons with the actual products.

(Not that it would be practical or feasible or cost-effective, but it would be nice to have a Wacky Packages Museum, which, among other displays, the physical products could be featured alongside of their respective stickers.  Double the nostalgia.)
You could always make a virtual museum.

Same here. Something about the self spoof, and the worms, really worked for me as a kid. Loved it ever since.

That's pretty much already been done, but someone could always try to do it better!

This next Series 4 parody was pulled due to a C&D from Purina. Choke Wagon and Chuck Wagon...

Never saw or heard of Glass Wax, but always really liked the card. Nice dented can. Wouldn't change anything with this one.

IIRC, the poster Wacky Garbage came out about the same time. My only question is,which one was released first-Wormy Packages or Wacky Garbage?

The artist must have used a lot of creative liberty with Armor Hot Dogs. I could not find an image of the actual Armour Hot Dogs packaging.

Good gag and taglines, and really cool artwork.  I would love to see the actual packaging it was based on.

Armour had a lot of packaging styles. The packaging design used for the parody is non-existent me thinks.

Blue Beanie and Blue Bonnet compared. Was there an orange box for the regular margarine?

I like this one. The only change I would suggest would be to add " NET. WT. 800 lbs "

"Bent on destroying your lungs" is pretty funny.

This is the brand my father smoked in the late 60's and early 70's, so I liked this title a lot because the pack design was so familiar.
