corbetti: I was an avid Wacky too! I still have all of my wacky packages from the early 70s, in pristine condition, with their original backing.
Did you know that Bill Griffith of “Zippy the Pinhead” was the artist for some wacky packages:
“Bill Griffith worked as a gag writer/sketch artist for Topps in 1973 and 1974. His thirty or so published Wacky Packages titles include Soft Head Bulbs from the 6th Series (now a magnet in ANS3), Kentucky Fried Fingers from the 8th Series, and much of the 12th Series wackies.”
Better than Whacky Pack Stickers because this pairs the whacky package with a character! Quite clever and not B-A-A-A-D! By the way, one of the best birthday presents I ever got was an entire box of Whacky Pack Stickers! WO_ot!

Pretty clever - reminded my of the wacky packs stickers I collected when I was a kid back in the 70s:

Product placement in the comics. Next thing you know, we’ll have commercials in the throwaway panels.

Cap’n Crunch was the only one that paid for a spot. Everybody else got punked.
