These remind me of all those italian guitars in the old Montgomery Wards catalogs. Odd styling, and the battle was to see how many pickups and switches could be on one body. Many bizarre colors available. Vomitburst was a favorite. The switches were huge and would be more appropriate on an organ. Many were made by Valco, but also Eko, Wandre and Crucianelli. Some were good, some were nice wallhangers, and all sell now for many multiples of their original price.
Oh, there is but I kept them out of the post. Of course they are done in a humorous fashion.
Last saw these in a bus station in the early 80's

Anybody else remember Rice Krinkles? With the horribly racist box art? Basically frosted Rice Krispies, or Cocoa Krispies without the chocolate. I love them back when I was a wee little sugar addict.

The Special K was always the last box to get eaten.
Kellogg's now calls the mini cereal boxes as Assortment Packs or Fun Packs.
Who remembers when these mini cereal boxes could be opened length wise and the boxes were lined with foil and you could pour milk in and eat right out of the box?
I remember the later version with something like waxed paper instead of the foil, but yeah, I remember the dotted line perforations on the front of the box showing where to open it to make the "bowl".Kellogg's now calls the mini cereal boxes as Assortment Packs or Fun Packs.
