Meet the New Wacky Packages Minis.

I didn't know about Wacky Packages Minis, but now I do. And if you don't know about them, you will after you watch this week's show. But I can tell you about them now. They're mini, almost MAD-like reproductions of famous products. For example the 3-D packages I opened contained Cracked Jerk (looks like the real Cracker Jacks Box), Milk-Drone (like the Milk Bone Box and Ratz Crackers, (yep, like the Ritz Crackers Box). In this week's video I talk a little bit about the little bit I know about satire and what you might be allowed to do within the law. According to the press release for Wacky Packages Minis, they say people are buying cases of them. I have no idea if that's true or not, but I can see kids wanting to 'collect them all!' They're fun and very much like what MAD has been doing for more than 50 years with our ad satires.
