Juice Slam
Conahan sent me this. Apparently he was too weirded out by it to post. Someone should have explained to the suits that the word “slam” has an unpleasant connotation when associated with skateboarding. Burstin Berry? Eeewww! I think I got a few of those this weekend at Sleestock. Nice tweaked tuck knee. Recognize the skater? Is that a Japan air? One more pic (the same one really, just in one piece) after the jump. Does anyone remember Slam wrist guards? They had a cool pop art logo. Now that was a good product name.
Life imitates Skate and Annoy
Mark Conahan made a comic with featuring the skateboarders on the Tootsie Roll Pop wrapper. Today I saw on the Krux web site that they have some shirts called “sucker” featuring the appropriated art. Nice job Krux, but a bummer for me because I was working on something similar for a different project. I guess that is why Krux (AKA N.H.S.) is a real company, and my operation runs out of a basement. Oh well, you snooze, you lose. If by some chance you’ve never noticed the skateboarders on the Tootsie Pop Roll wrappers, keep reading.
Cheesy Marketing
I don’t eat Cheetos so I never payed any attention to these bags until my son grabbed one off a rack a the sub shop today, and it had Chester Cheetah getting rad. More pics for those with obsessive compulsive disorder (like me) after the jump.
Made with seven different fruit juices!
And a whole lot of corn syrup! Now that I have a kid I have to start paying attention to these so-called fruit snacks, which are usually nothing more than a nominal amount of fruit inside a wad of something slightly less soluble than horse hooves. Mr Jelly Belly Fruit Snacks! Check out the packaging and pointless comments after the jump.
Xcreme Your Jeans
A coworker had these on the desk yesterday. Good enough reason to start a new category since I’ve got a backlog of food packaging with skateboards on it in my basement. These cookies look like they are made out of Play Doh ®. Seriously! See the proof after the jump.
