Disturbingly Retro

    I was meandering through my local flea market this weekend, when I happened upon a rare item for sale. It was a glass baby bottle, complete with rubber nipple and cover. The weird part was, it was a Dr. Pepper baby bottle.

    Was Dr. Pepper actually served to the baby or was it just a marketing tool...you know, baby holds bottle in it's cute hands, people lean in for a cutchie cutchie coo, and BAM their faced with a Dr. Pepper logo. Suddenly they have a thirst for the unique beverage.

    I'm hoping it was an advertising ploy...as serving Dr. Pepper to a newborn verges on child abuse.

    Anyone else seen any disturbing retro products in your travels?

    Well this one is not really a total retro find, but more of a modern day package that still uses retro images.
    Pretty sure that little boy on the can is no longer among the living eating these items, much less the picture of said items really makes anyone want to eat them.

    My hair somehow look like that, when I wake up from a long slumber.

    I actually bought a can of those last month, not too bad, cool label. I'm thinking of styling my hair like that; it's time to bring it back!

    I don't know if I could eat anything from a company called Prairie Belt. Too many horrifying images come to mind of what the sausage might be made of. ;P

    Could be worse. Could be head cheese. And why is it called head cheese you ask? Because no one would eat anything call head meat. Also, nothing really sweet about sweet breads now is there?

    Yeah I know, a wierd meat tangent. Hmmmmm, delcious internet.
