After a week off, we’re back with another edition of Wacky Wednesdays!\u00a0 For today’s edition, we’ll be looking at an entry from last year’s Wacky Packages Old Schoool Series 3 – a parody of M&M’s – Um&Um’s.<\/p>\n

Um&Um’s was released as part of the third series of Wacky Packages Old School 3, but it was actually seen in the series before, as a special “Series 3 Preview Mini-Sticker”.\u00a0 Here’s a close-up of the parody itself:<\/p>\n

And that’s everything for today’s edition of Wacky Wednesdays.\u00a0 See you next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
