Joe G. cooks up more Fun! ANS 2023 spoilers!
« on: March 14, 2023, 10:05:16 AM »
I am so pleased to share that I have been invited to contribute to this new bit of Wackiness for 2023!  If you saw the listing you will have already seen my worms (somehow that doesn’t sound right) and now here’s the next teaser.  There have been a few Wackys based on Finish Dishwasher Tabs but I hope this new one will tickle your funny bone.  Without further ado I present…





More to come.

Thank you Paul!

OK now that Andrew has pointed to the Wacky Packages 2023 checklist I’m gonna be taking requests here.  So far my cards 8 and 35 have been shown so that leaves 17, 26 and 44.  Do any sound fun?  Just request by the card name and I will post it!  At some point today, I promise.  Just to make it extra Funish if you can guess the product it’s based on I will send you a copy of one of my previous Wackys of your choice, signed if you want, and assuming I have an extra copy in my archive.  Also no Topps artists and one per please.

26 sprite?

Yup give that man a prize!  Indeed card 17 is Nutella but for Zombies.  PM me your name and address and your pick of one of my past Wackys or if you want or I can just pick.  Also tell me if you want it signed.  And now, drumroll please, the reveal of card 17 Gutella!

You're right didn't mean to spoil the fun just getting ahead of myself! Took the other guess down 👍

Well done Andrew!  Yes indeed card 44 is King Oscar Sardines but from Skull Island and hand picked by King Kong himself!  You know PM yadda yadda.  And now, drum roll please, the 8th Wonder World of the world Kong O’Scare sardines.

And Darryl brings it home!  Well done.  Indeed card 26 is Sparkle paper towels but the kind that can stop arrows and helped the Spartan’s win the battle at Thermopylae.  OK they didn’t win but please don’t blame the towels!  So Daryl PM and all that jazz.  And now my final Wacky for Wacky Packages 2023 I give you the tougher picker upper Sparta Paper Towels!

I did Daryl and your signed Grrrber will be mailed tomorrow.  I hoped you liked Sparta and again, great guess, that was certainly the tougher (picker upper) to figure out!

So there’s actually still one more product to guess, the one shown in the Wacky Packages 2023 listing Worm Delights.  Same deal, whoever can identify it, gets a signed card of one of my past Wackys.  Although it’s not a super common product it shouldn’t be too tough with all the hints in the Wacky itself!

I love what you've posted as "spoilers," Joe! Great job.  As for "Worm Delights," I'm guessing Betty Crocker's Warm Delights.

Paul, you know it, Betty Crockers Warm Delights it is.  Please PM me and I will get a card out to you ASAP!  So no point in posting the Wacky but here’s the product image the Wacky is based one.

Thank you Andrew and yes, although it’s starting a little later than the past 2 years, Wackiness in 2023 is in full swing now!

Pat you are the best!  I always think of you as I post and honestly you are the reason I put the word spoilers so prominent in the title as I know you hate spoilers!  Which I notice now, I misspelled. Doh!  Well, thank you so much for looking and thanks, as always, for the kind words.  Do you have a favorite of the 5?

I love Funish, but Sparta is a close second.  Thanks for some cool titles!

Pat, thanks!  Sparta was my son Josh’s idea.  “Hey Dad wouldn’t it be funny if the Greeks used paper towels as shields.”  He also came up with Muggle for Wacky Packages 2014. Also Wendy designed the face of the Worm for Worm Delights as I just can’t do cute.  So yup, Wackys are a family business at the Grossberg household.

Anybody know if Topps is printing a checklist?  The PDF is nice, but an actual checklist card with back/front puzzle pieces is more reminiscent of the original series.

Joe G. has outdone himself with these cards.  All are good, but I'd have to say that Funish is my favorite.  I mean who doesn't like clowns?  ...or at least being terrorized by them vis-a-vis Pennywise....

Timothy thanks so much for the kudos.  Looks like Funish is king.  I guess to top it would be a big feat! No?  How about have big shoes to fill?  No, well anyway I’ll have to keep an eye out for any products that may benefit from the clown treatment!
