fun to see a Wacky becoming a real Halloween product

Can Topps sue Kool Aid for using their concept without approval?

In a similar vein, I remember drawing up a gag about Cadbury Creme Eggs for Halloween back in the ANS days. It was Cadburied Scream Eggs. Some of my other designs got used that year, but as I prepared to resubmit it the following year I happened to see an advertisement for their new Halloween-themed creme egg. Yup! The Scream Egg had become a reality before my gag could poke fun at it! Argh!

Surprised the Cool Whip people didn't market a green or black colored Ghoul Whip...or the Budweiser people market a red colored beer called Bloodweiser

Mtn Dew just did a mystery flavor this year called Voo Dew.

Good question! Though in this case, Kool-Aid got there a couple decades earlier. Back in the 1990s in fact!

I thought I remembered these! In fact, i think they were producing these as late as 2004 or so.

They’ve definitely done a couple re-releases too.

GPK will start getting their Halloween goodies this week.
Hopefully we’ll see the Wackys as well.

I got an email from Topps about this latest GPK ^$%!!. Dear Topps: that is like sending an email about sunshine to a vampire.

Oops! Looks like my Caps Lock was a little sticky!

So, you're saying there will be ten of these cards, and they'll be available in the 10th month of the year for 10 cents apiece? What a bargain! I've got a dollar laying around somewhere.

You've picked up on the salient hints, but you may be interpreting them incorrectly!

Since I can't SAY anything, what if I asked questions? Do you think the set will be postcards or trading cards? How may do you think will be in the set? What artists will be involved? Anyone else curious?

People ARE curious and these questions are being asked and discussed in the new thread dedicated to this set
