Do You Have the Bazooka Joe Nature?
Bazooka Joe bubble gum was a staple of my childhood, God only know why. The gum was like concrete and the comics were inpenetrably unfunny. Now that I'm older, I have a theory that it was some sort of Zen thing meant to calm our childish minds into accepting the concepts of unbeing and nonexistence. But of course, by stating this, I've negated it since the Bazooka Joe that can be named is not the true Bazooka Joe. Mu!
On the opposite end of the spectrum, you had Wacky Packages. Gross, funny, and epitomizing the spirit of Mad Magazine, they were the Pokemon cards of their day. They were banned in my high school and many stores refused to carry them, which of course made them even more wildly popular than they already were with 13-year old boys.
