Back for another Wacky Wednesdays post and another edition from the wonderful Wacky Packages Postcard Halloween series of 2012. Today we will look at a parody of the Nestle Crunch bar — Hunch.
With art by Joe Simko, this particular Wacky Package parody really shines with the inclusion of the Hunchback character. Here’s a closer look:
Topps – Wacky Packages Halloween Postcard Series 2012 – Hunch
It’s always fun when you have the character on the Wacky Package actually handling the product parody itself, as you see here with the Hunchback. I also like the turning of Nestle into Notre as in “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”.
This is of course based on the current Nestle Crunch wrapper:
Nestle – Crunch – chocolate candy bar wrapper – 2012
As you can see, all of the major design elements from the original wrapper made the transformation to Wacky Package. Only the Net Weight indications are dropped, but I don’t think anyone misses them since we get a great Hunchback character in their stead.
And that’s everything for today’s edition of Wacky Wednesdays. See you next time!
