I never really thought about the Petley thing much.  I guess in a way, it was a huge nail in the Wacky coffin.  Do we know if it delayed the release or size of the 16th series?  Weird to think that one tea company could have been what prevented us from getting a 17th through 20-something run.  Petley doesn't even taste that good.  Yah, maybe better than Hipton.  But it's all about "Pig Lips" for English tea.  I made it a point of having some when I was at that card show in London trying to track down Wackys.

You are probably right.  By the time Topps won that lawsuit, Original Series Wackys were already on the decline.  I was really referring to the fact that with the modern era Wackys, as someone else mentioned, most products seem to be fair game.
Ex-act-ly! You are absolutely right, sir! (as Ed McMahon would say)

In fact, I noticed long ago that, as far as both Wackys and their cookie and cracker products were concerned, Nabisco seems to gained both a sense of humor and a funny bone after all these years - and has still kept both of them!

The only cease-and-desist orders in the early years of the ANS run that I've heard of (at least) in recent years were only in ANS1 (2004), ANS2 (2005) and ANS3 (2005/2006). In both cases, M&M/Mars complained about five of their candy products being in the first two of them (which, btw, didn't last very long, as not only were the two out of five M&M/Mars-based Wackys that were actually cease-and-desisted released anyway years later (they were 3 Racketeers in ANS10 as one of its 14 bonus stickers (B1) and Twits in 2014 S1 as one of the three stickers in its Lost Wackys subset (L2)), but a lot of those aforementioned candy products and several others from the same company were - and still are - being parodied to this day (repeatedly and ad nauseum)). Three more M&M/Mars-based Wackys - Scarburst, Sneakers and Spittles - were allowed to be kept in ANS1, but as part of the cease-and desist order, they could never be re-released outside of that series ever again. AfaIk, that part of the order still holds to this day (if I'm wrong, however, please tell me).

Then there were two more Wackys also from the early years of the ANS run and from about the same time as that incident (they were Fright Castle Ghoulburgers and Slacker Jack) that were also allowed to be kept in their respective series (ANS1 for the first one and ANS3 for the second one (the second one was originally intended for ANS2, btw)), but only if their original artwork was slightly altered in order to appease their respective companies, namely White Castle and Frito-Lay (the second of which had an agreement with Topps to publish Cracker Jack baseball cards at the time). In both of these cases, it was only a few minor details that most people probably wouldn't have heard of or even noticed unless they knew about them in advance or someone mentioned them and then showed them to them.

After all that was said and done Topps, AFAIK, has had no more trouble with cease-and-desist orders after that (at least, I haven't heard of any - has anyone else out there?).

You are absolutely right again, sir! I guess, ever since they were brought back in 2004, most (if not all) of the big companies have figured out by now that having one or more of their various products making it into a Wacky Packages series is practically a badge of honor (dubious though it may be).

The only really big company that I think is the exception to the rule is Walt Disney Productions. There might be a major problem releasing the four Disney products from the lost 1992 series (De'Ja Vu Master Sickey Mouse Viewer, Bimbo, BuckTales and The Little Barmaid) and Ironed Man from ANS8's Wacky Packages Go to the Movies subset as actual stickers because of this, and we all know what happened to the planned Star Wars Wacky Packages series, don't we, folks? However, if anyone can think of any other big companies where this may be a problem, though, please let me know.

Btw, was the Star Wars Wacky Packages series completed and ready to be released to stores by the time Disney pulled the plug on it? That'd really be a bummer if it was.

Once Mickey Mouse is public domain (soon), it will be interesting to see what happens with all the parody and uses of THAT character.

Yeah, especially the lost 1992 series' De'Ja Vu Master Sickey Mouse Viewer. If that one was ever officially published and Disney ever found out about it, they'd have 10,000 fits. In fact, they wouldn't be satisfied with just pulling that Wacky, they'd want every last copy of it to be totally destroyed. if someone could please post the finished art for it, you'll all see what I mean.

Even Old School is blending the obscure with the familiar.  But that could just be Dave stretching resources the best he can to keep the train rolling.
Is it just me, or am I the only one here who thinks that, in the case of the OLDS run when compared to the last days of the OS run, history just may be repeating itself?

I really hope I'm wrong this time just once.

Just noticed something in this one: Kellogg's Raisin Bran has more Wackys than Post Raisin Bran (the latter being the one Topps started out parodying in the first place). Seven Kellogg's compared to three Post (I'm not including the Post Wonky here, since that's a parody of a parody and isn't really new or original in this case). I wonder why? Any ideas?

Wacky Packages still holds the top spot on the list with 22 - three of them in the ANWS alone!

UPDATE: Thank you, Topps, for the nice Christmas present - a 21st Wacky Packages release - and a fourth ANWS sticker at that!

Thanks for updating the list, Mike!

One little suggestion, though. Could you please put XL Edition at the top of its list in a similar manner to the 6 inch edition list? I think it'd be a lot easier that way.

And one question about the name of one of the 6 inch ones: is it Too Much Sake or Drunken Sake?

Hey Mike!

All updated as per your suggestions. I’ve changed XL to King Size for accuracy. I checked on the artist’s website (Andrew Bell/Dead Zebra) and he has it listed as Too Much Sake. I believe the package lists it as Druken Sake. So I can modify however you like.

Let's go with the packaging (if that's right; can someone confirm or deny this?) and list it as Drunken Sake. Otherwise, just keep it the way it is.

Also, the words "Size" and "Edition" in Milk Chocolate (King Size Edition) need to be spaced out.

I just checked and the package says ‘Drunk On Japenese Sake’ I’ll make the changes.

Did anyone notice that three of Dr Pepper's Wackys are Dr Popper, Dr Peeper and Dr Pooper? Now all Topps needs to do is make Dr Pupper and Dr Pipper and it'll have used the first syllables in the names of Popeye the Sailor Man and his four nephews Peepeye, Poopeye, Pupeye and Pipeye!

Here's another Dr Pepper-related joke: there was an actual greeting card on the market once where a young woman said to her boyfriend while they were sitting next to each other on the couch (if one looks at the card, she's sitting on the left side and he's sitting on the right side) "It won't work. I'm a manic-depressive and you're a Pepper." Inside the card it said, "Wouldn't you like to be a manic-depressive, too?"

And before anyone asks, yes, this was an actual greeting card back in the day and no, I don't remember what company released it.

I once thought that Kit Kat was the most-parodied Wacky.

Boy, was I wrong. This whole thing has gone far beyond that.

Oh, the silly, blind naivete of some people.
