Wacky Packages are a series of trading cards featuring parodies of American consumer products . The cards were produced by the Topps Company beginning in 1967, usually in a sticker format. The original series sold for two years, and the concept proved popular enough that it has been revived every few years since. Per trader legend, at one time the product outsold Topps baseball cards .
Relying on the talents of such comics artists as Kim Deitch , George Evans , Drew Friedman , Bill Griffith , Jay Lynch , Norman Saunders , Art Spiegelman , Bhob Stewart and Tom Sutton , the cards spoofed well-known brands and packaging, such as "Crust" (instead of Crest ) toothpaste, "Blisterine" (instead of Listerine ), and "Neveready" batteries (for Eveready Industries batteries). The initial series was followed by a somewhat different Wacky Ads line in 1969, featuring gags and roughs by Lynch and Deitch with finished paintings by Sutton. These cards were designed more like miniature billboards with a die-cut around the parodied product, so it could pop out of the horizontal billboard scene.
