Wacky Packages

Wacky Packages were a series of non-sports trading cards porduced by the Topps company between 1967 and 1992. They featured parodies of well-known consumer products. For example, one card features 'Blisterine' rather than 'Listerine' and another features 'Neverready' batteries as a parody of 'Everready Batteries'.

Some of the cards were created by such comics artists as Art Spiegelman, Bill Griffith, Kim Deitch, Drew Freidman, George Evans, Jay Lynch and Norman Saunders.
