The coolest cereal graphics in - i dunno - 25 years!




I just found the new Count Chocula box today - and WOW - it is beyond swell. Kudos to the kids in the art department at General Mills for making a box that looks almost vintage without being overly "retro" - yet still looks modern. I haven't seen a cooler cereal box on the grocery shelf in probably over 25 years. Mr. Frothy found the Frankenberry box, which I have not yet seen. Once I find one - I'll post a pic of that as well. We're anxiously waiting to see what the Booberry box will look like.


I love the fact that the cereal is barely even shown (only a tiny bit on one of the side panels) - very reminiscent of a late 60s-early 70s box - where the character is what sold the product. They're so swell, it almost makes me want to buy them all and display them with my vintage boxes (almost).

Here is a recent "lame" version for comparison:

Amazing Twiggy art




As some of you know, I am a Twiggy NUT! I have been collecting stuff of hers for over 17 years now and have just about everything there is to have. Well, I THOUGHT I did, anyway. Then along comes these amazing pieces and I just flipped out when I got them...

This is the original painting used in the production of the Twiggy brunch bag:

And this is the original artwork for the Twiggy "thermos" bottle:


Here is the actual brunch bag/bottle for comparison:

They are incredible pieces and truly "one of a kind". I can't believe these came up for sale AND that I was able to get them!
