Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
To be honest I have no idea what this site is all about; well, I do. It is "wacky" packaging, but why?
Amazing what you can find on the internet! How about Miracle Whiffs "Spreads on Anything" or Kracked Barrel "Wood Splinter Cheese" just the sort of silliness required down the Queens Head on a quiet Monday Bank Holiday. Hold on! I have just spotted Instant Stanka "The Coffee That Takes Your Breath Away!"
Well, it made me laugh.

These sorts of labels were very popular when i was a child, in the '60's. There were sort of tied to Mad Magazine. Just stupid, funny, joke labels, usually in sticker form.

They featured satirical versions of food packaging. The newer ones kind of lost their edge, but I remember buying them as a kid and putting some of the stickers on my Trapper Keeper!
