After a week off, we’re back with another edition of Wacky Wednesdays! 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.
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”. Here’s a close-up of the parody itself:

And here’s an early 1970′s M&M’s Plain package:
M&M’s Plain Chocolate Candies candy pack – 1970′s
There’s not much to grab hold of with the original 1970′s M&M’s pack, but they did a great job of bringing in the M&M’s mascot as well as making a play on the 1970′s M&M’s slogan “Melts in your Mouth, Not in your hand!” Gotta love it.
And that’s everything for today’s edition of Wacky Wednesdays. See you next time!
That was one of my faves from Old School series 3.
