\"CC_WackyWednesdays_Bit-O-Hairy_TITLE<\/p>\n

We’re bringing a bit of Halloween Wacky fun here in March with today’s edition of Wacky Wednesdays; from Wacky Packages Postcards 2012-Halloween Edition, it’s Bit-O-Hairy!<\/p>\n

Bit-O-Hairy is a parody of Bit-O-Honey of course, and today marks the second Wacky Wednesdays post which features a parody of that product – the first one was for the 1970’s Wacky, Bit-O-Money<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I gotta say, today’s Wacky always puts a smile on my face.\u00a0 Anytime you can bring Bigfoot into a Wacky Packages parody is good in my book.\u00a0 Let’s take a closer look at the postcard itself:<\/p>\n

\"Topps

Topps – Wacky Packages Halloween 2012 Postcards -Bit-O-Hairy<\/p><\/div>\n

A couple really nice touches and word-play found on this one, “Hair-Raising Taste!”.\u00a0 It’s a solidly fun bit of parody based on the modern wrapper for Bit-O-Honey, and here’s one for comparison:<\/p>\n

\"Nestle

Nestle – Bit-O-Honey – 1.7 oz candy wrapper – 2012<\/p><\/div>\n

As you can see this wrapper is a pretty close match to the Bit-O-Hairy Wacky that parodied it.\u00a0 I suspect the few subtle differences are more likely to be artistic choice, rather than it being based on a different wrapper.<\/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":"
