The Pepsi “SEX” Can, from 1990!
I’m here to tell you about the sexiest Pepsi can ever.
That’s it, right there. It was one of the four Pepsi “Cool Cans” released in the summer of 1990. The soda was the same, but the cans were given various pop art makeovers to make them more attractive to younger demos.
Special edition can designs are nothing by today’s standards, but I was in the fifth grade when this hit, and I can confirm that Cool Cans were a very big deal. Especially this one, which was such a dramatic departure from the norm.
We loved that black can, and we loved it even more after discovering its saucy secret: Read More…
Dino Drac’s July Funpack is here!
It’s hard to believe, but this month marks the FOURTH anniversary of Dino Drac’s Funpacks. Yes, I’ve been at this for FOUR YEARS. Unreal!
When I started this adventure, the goal was to survive one “last” Halloween Countdown, which I absolutely could not do without generating some form of income. I had no expectation that the Funpacks would last even half a year, let alone four. Again: UNREAL.
The last four years of Dino Drac is thanks to all of you who’ve subscribed. Whether you’re an active, occasional or former subscriber, the site would absolutely not be here if not for you. Thank you x1000 for enabling me!
The July 2018 Funpack will only be available for 2-3 days, and quantities for new subscribers are very limited. If you want in, act fast!
Funpack subscriptions are $25 a month (including shipping), and for as long as you remain subscribed, you’ll get a new package of old, cool junk every single month! You can cancel at any time without penalty, of course!
There are more than a dozen items in this month’s box, including everything from old action figures to killer trading cards to salty chips. Scroll to the bottom for ordering info, or keep reading to learn about EVERYTHING you’ll receive in this month’s Funpack! Read More…
Funko’s Freddy and Jason HORROR CEREALS!
Y’all heard the news about Funko’s amazing line of cereals, right?
They all look interesting, but two were of particular interest to me. You can probably guess which!
Yep, we now have officially licensed Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees BREAKFAST CEREALS. I still can’t believe it.
I’ve spent the last few weeks working every angle to be among the first to have them, which involved many pestering phone calls and way too much money. Hey, this is a special occasion!
Happy to report that my persistence paid off. Here’s my video review of these multigrain miracles:
If you’re interested in the Freddy and Jason cereals, they’re exclusively sold at FYE. (Both in-store and online.) Funko’s other cereals are sold through different outlets, so like, don’t expect to find Mega Man cereal at FYE.
I’ve never been a big Funko nut, but I know greatness when I see it. These are an absolute treasure. Great box designs, good-enough cereal and cute little toys to boot! They’re not exactly “cheap” at $13 a box, but let’s be real: Had these been SDCC exclusives, we would’ve paid double and been happy to do it. Read More…
Pizza Hut’s Back to the Future Solar Shades!
In November of 1989, Pizza Hut began selling funky sunglasses to promote the release of Back to the Future Part II. As a ten-year-old who liked Marty McFly, pizza and funky sunglasses, I was all the hell in on it.
They were called SOLAR SHADES, and they were AMAZING. Meant to wink at the futuristic fashions seen in the film, Pizza Hut sold the pairs for $1.99 each.
Guys, this was a biiiiig deal. For kids my age, the Back to the Future franchise had that whole aspirational thing going for it. You look at those glasses now and see ridiculousness, but for us back then, they were just plain cool. Wearing them was like being blessed by Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother. Read More…
