Wacky Packages. they're back!!!!!

That's right. Topps announced that they were bringing back the Wacky Packs. They become available in May from what I read. How many of you remember all your school lockers and books covered with those stickers? As well as the new generation, they are also focusing on the nostaglia as well.

A preview of some of the new ones coming out are Scrapple (Snapple), Fright Castle (White Castle).

Just out of curiousity, which were your favorite ones from the originals first sold in 1973?

Woooo Hooooo!!

I was a big fan of Whacky Packs. I think I remember Blunder bread: "Builds bodies 8 crazy ways" featuring a guy with muscels coming out of every part of his body but his arms.
Also "Tied" detergent, with a guy pulling his laundry out of a washing machine all in knots.

Preorders for boxes of the cards at the store I manage are doing quite well. Many people seem to remember them fondly. Topps has a good eye for bringing back products.
