Hawaiian Punch iron on transfer. The seller says it appears to be from the 80’s but that doesn’t look like 80’s era iron transfer technology to me. I’m thinking closer to mid to late 90’s. UPDATE: Added pics of an 80’s era Hawaiian Punch skateboard.

UPDATED UPDATE: This board came up in discussion in the S&A Facebook group and coming back to this 2012 era post with 2012 era low res graphics was embarrassing. Added some better pics of the board from a 2021 auction. And because it was Josh Baker that brought it, up an image search also turned up his 2013 post of the t-shirt transfer that has much better pics.

Market research has determined that Europeans, when eating junk food, want to be reminded of extreme!™ sports and the United States of America. And hence, Cheetos Spinners as spotted in Holland, with Chester Cheetah hitting a stair set somewhere in Seattle. Chester has aged well.

– Thanks to Matthijs for the photos.

Another Dole banana skateboard tie in.

It’s Spongebob Squarepants on a skateboard, available as a Happy Meal toy. Thanks to Colin Sharp for bringing his whole family to McDonalds on a weekly basis and photographing this for me, becasue I wouldn’t be caught dead feeding this to my kids.

– With apologies to McRad.

Grapple. Gorilla apple? No, that would be Gorapple. Grape apple? That makes no sense, but it hasn’t stopped someone from developing a grape infused apple. USA! USA! USA! USA! Now they just need to make a baby version. Nobel Peace Prize or sign of the apocalypse?

– Thanks to Justin Owen for the picture.

MC is on a road trip, checking out some skate spots in Idaho and Colorado. He found Tiger’s Blood Extreme Chill in a gas station in Boise. looks like the proprietor put up a poster of his kid (or someone) at a local spot. Locals only slushies! I’ll take a large cup of Igloo Caps please.

I can’t remember where I found this, you know, besides tonight when I moved a dresser and found it covered in dust bunnies. It must have been a kids magazine because it has the word “advertisement” at the top of the page. I’m not sure what other type of magazine would find the content confusing. No point in clicking through, unless you need a footnote for your thesis on exactly where cartoon characters, skateboards and food packaging intersect. 25% less fun, 100% more sugar!

It’s summertime, summertime. I’m gonna head to the beach and do some beachy things. I spotted this on an ice cream truck while plying my kids with cold sugar on a stick after one of those music in the park deals. Actually the band was pretty interesting. An all female sax quartet called the Quadraphones. More jazz and less funk than I’d like but still solid. The frozen confectionary comes in a cup, but unfortunately the packaging doesn’t have the skateboarding character. The gal in the truck wouldn’t let me buy the window sticker either. Now who gets the noprize?

Mum-Mum Snax wants you to be active with Yappy Dog! Don Draper is rolling over in his grave because his character proably wouldn’t be alive now, and even if he was, this would kill him. That’s got to be one of the most unimaginative mascot names to-date. Mum-Mum Snax is a brand in the Hot-Kid family of products. I think everything they make is a rice cake derivatives. I’m officially launching my line of skateboarding food mascot clothing now. Bigger box plus a little skateboard button from the web site after the jump.

– Thanks again to Seth Levy for the tip.

This Spaghettios label was found on Flickr, but the original link was lost. My money was on this guy Gregg Koenig. He’s got other Spaghettios labels presented in a similar fashion, but it didn’t come up in the search, maybe there was a typo on that one. I was going to look through his whole stream but he’s got an insane amount (2,522) of old food images. It turns out it belongs to Jason Liebig and it dates to the 90’s. This post reminds me of a story. Sometimes it’s a long trip to the store just to find out it’s closed.
