Lactantia smart milk from Canada. Is that a missing skateboarder? Lactantia sounds like the name of a villainess in a Russ Meyer film. – Thanks to Kevin Live (Yes, I’m cleaning out my inbox)
This is Cool Frozen Desert from Epoch. Just like Cool Cuts Carrots before it, although slightly less descriptive, and packaged with all the enthusiasm of one of those nutrition drinks for the geriatric set. Put it on a plate son, you’ll enjoy it more. Cool Frozen Desert features Rector knee pads in an illustration that […]
The Kilwag offspring have been trained well to enable my OCD act as spotters for potential content for Skate and Annoy. One of them pointed out an anthropomorphic carrot shredding on the packaging of Cool Cuts Carrots from ready Pac. Carrots with ranch dip? It should say carrots with attitude!
The 60’s were the true, toy store fad era of skateboarding. At no other time would you expect to be able to purchase a serviceable piece of sporting equipment from a snack food manufacturer.

Cereal toys used to be kind of interesting, or at least they held the promise of being something cool, which leads us to this balloon powered skateboard. Unless it was heavy and the balloon was really small, this collection of future landfill probably didn’t roll at all. More likely it just sort of turned over […]
It’s Sugar Bear from Super Golden Crisp, originally called Super Sugar Crisp. Some time in the 80’s Post decided that a cereal with the word “sugar” in the name wasn’t a good idea. Sugar Crisp commercials would often include an brief environmental message on the storyline in the 70’s during the first wave of popular […]
