\"\"<\/a>Following up the last two days of Zagnut-related coverage, I thought I’d include Wacky Wednesdays in the fun as well.<\/p>\n

Released as part of Topps’ Wacky Packages Old School series 2 in 2011, Hagnut is a candy bar spoof featuring a witch character (the “hag” in Hagnut, obviously) as well as a list of ingredients that includes eye of newt and wing of bat crunch.\u00a0 The tagline for this one is “For batty witches.”\u00a0 It’s classic Wacky goodness.<\/p>\n

A closer look at the witch character illustrated on the sticker shows that she herself is enjoying a Hagnut bar, complete with eyes of newt and aforementioned wings:<\/p>\n

The wrapper parodied with this sticker is the Zagnut style first seen in the late 1960’s, and carried all the way through the following decade.<\/p>\n

Since the Wacky Packages Old School series is being released now, I actually had this wrapper in my collection before the Wacky was conceived.\u00a0 Due to the fact that I provide vintage packaging reference to Dave Gross, the man behind the art of Old School Wackys, this sticker may well be based on the very wrapper I have here. \u00a0 How’s that for an effective\u00a0 shortcut to collecting packages that Wackys are based on?<\/p>\n

That’s all for this week’s edition.\u00a0 Next week I’ll be back with a genuine 1970’s Wacky Wednesdays post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
