It’s going to be a light week here on S&A. I’m swamped with outside projects, so the only thing you get today is Calbee BBQ corn. It’s Hot & Spicy and the corn tassel mowhaked mascot likes to break dance and skateboard.

Fathers day gift from my offspring. I also got Rock Em Sock Em Robots, which look just like they used to. However, they have replaced the head mechanism with cheaper innards that make a barely audible noise when triggered, depriving todays youth and one middle aged dad of one of the main joys of playing the game.

Im always calling my kids nerds, but as a term of affection. Come on nerds, lts time for dinner. Or Bye bye nerds, Im going to work. The other day my wife said she was pushing the kids through the grocery store when my oldest (4) called out to a passing cartload of kids Out of my way nerds! So, nerds on a skateboard. It isnt the first time. Theres a nerd on a skateboard on every bag of Nerds, I thought I posted it before, but the closest thing I could find was Buddy Bears Gummi Bears.

Checking in again on Mexican chocolate food packaging. Nestle’s Milo Nuggets as seen in a Long Island bakery that also sells hispanic foods. While trying to find out more about Milo Nuggets I learned that Nestle uses Milo on a hundred different products, from candy bars to cereal. I also found a second skateboard packaging option.

– Thanks to Doug for the the pic.

That’s right. Stick anything on a skateboard to make it look cool, hip, young, and dare I say… EXTREME! So extreme that a mere cell phone camera couldn’t quite capture this Dole banana box without a blur.

– Thanks to John Aguilar for the snap.

Well, Xtreme Fun anyway. Maybe someone already trademarked “Extreme Fun.” Blastems have a great name that could only be made better by adding the word “sugar” in front of it. However, it isn’t going to happen, because It’s a healthy-ish, or something like that.

I bought some Cuppa Stoke coffee online from the creator of the Skateboarder’s Journal. Friend of the site, (whether he knows it or not,) Dan Gesmer came up with the name! If you can get past it, the coffee is pretty good. My palate isn’t as refined as it once was, but good coffee is good coffee. I can vouch for the 5-0 Grind blend.

The box says “Skate Pocket” but the cookie and the graphics say snowboard. Someone forgot to tell the art director about the wheels. Head on over to Sa ka roulé for larger pics and a bonus shot of some other choco mix drink that isn’t this one.

JF Fullum sent me some pics of the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in a while, outside of the hole in Mark’s back yard. It’s a giant chocolate skateboard that his mother gave him for Easter, and mind you, he’s a grown man now, but I’m just jealous. It came from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. so I guess I can cut my mom some slack.

That video of Rob Dyrdek eating it pretty hard while dressed up as a Carls Jr mascott has been making the rounds lately. He’s got some promotional drink cups coming out through Carls Jr, who have also made a donation to the Skate Plaza foundation. This is as good an excuse as any to trot out these old 70’s era collectable slurpee skateboard cups from 7-11.

I found these Chupa Chups over on a blog called sa ka woulé which might be French for something I don’t know, but over here in the U.S. we call these things Blow Pops. I’m digging the fact that the skater is dressed up in a suit.
