We’re back with a new edition of Wacky Wednesdays and today we’ll be looking at a sticker from the recently-released Wacky Packages All-New Series 10 – 3-Racketeers.<\/p>\n

Today marks the second time I’ve covered a 3-Musketeers related Wacky Package for Wacky Wednesdays – the first was for the 1970’s 3-Mosquitoes parody in August of last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 3-Racketeers sticker is one of several bonus stickers from the All-New Series 10\u00a0 that were released exclusively at Target stores and only within special double-packs.\u00a0 So this one is a bit unusual as it could only be found in those special packs sold at Target.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a closer look at it:<\/p>\n

\"Wacky

Wacky Packages ANS10 – 3 Racketeers – 2013<\/p><\/div>\n

The parody takes the 3-Musketeers idea and gives it an edgy Sopranos\/Goodfellas transformation.\u00a0 Chocolate whipped becomes pistol whipped, and though the classic 3-Musketeers line “All for one, and one for all!” is not on the original wrapper, it is played upon and given a greedy twist here.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the version of 3-Musketeers wrapper that 3-Racketeers was based on:<\/p>\n

\"M&M-Mars

M&M-Mars – 3-Musketeers chocolate candy bar wrapper – 2011<\/p><\/div>\n

As you can see, the design and look of the original 3-Musketeers wrappers was kept largely in place in the 3-Racketeers Wacky.\u00a0 I think they did a very nice job.<\/p>\n

And that’s everything for today’s edition of Wacky Wednesdays.<\/p>\n

See you next time!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
