Sparks with Caffeine

On the outside chance that you have actually been checking this blog over the past month or so, only to dejectedly realize again and again that I haven't create any new posts, I owe you an apology. I've been feeling really slack in the energy department lately. And surprisingly sober.
But all that is about to change...

Awww yeah! It's a Sparks promo-pack from the Steel Brewing label of MillerCoors LLC!


Packed with a sealed can each of Sparks, Sparks Lite, and Sparks Plus, plus a bonus mini-can and, yeah, let's include a 24-ounce Steel Reserve 211 while were at it.
What's even better, these pre-date the late 2008 decision to take the caffeine and taurine out of Sparks.  They don't make 'em like this anymore.


More great posts featuring memorable Steel Brewing company promo items coming this week, so keep it bookmarked, chump.

Altoids Tins


Just a small selection of the seemingly endless varieties of empty Altoids tins that would await you at the Junk Store... if I didn't hoard them all for myself.

Good Grief



Apparently, Kewpie is a popular Japanese brand of Mayonnaise that has more savory umami flavor. Look it up.

Thank You Thighmaster


Unfortunately, this didn't also get donated with "Susan's Slender-For-Life Plan", but still...

More Sperms


While not quite on par with the Seed Of Chucky promo-foam-spermatozoa, these little fellas are still a welcome donation any day. I especially like the Golden Sperm (new in packaging).

Gigantor!


The latest incarnation of The Heap just won't die! Like the nine-headed Hydra, you sort one box and two takes it place. Despite our best efforts to precariously stack and sort all the boxes, bags, and freelance bits, it just never seems to get much smaller.
The Jammer proclaimed this heap be known as "Gigantor", and it is threatening to merge with Fabric Mountain and consume the entire Sorting Room.
I need another cup of coffee.

Grover

I old, so I come from the era when lunch boxes were made out of embossed metal and you could really do some damage throwing it at your friend's head. Then things got a plastic and lame. So I get a little pang of nostalgia when we get a one of these in...



Nice Sesame Street lunch box from 1973 or so. With thermos!
On the back it looks like Grover is throwing down gang signs in class. What what!

Weed with Roots in Hell

I've been hoarding up a fat stash of drug related donation images for a month-long binge in the near future, but seeing as today is 4.20 and I'm jonesin to give you a hit of the good shit, here is a 1970s repro of a 1920s classic: Marihuana. Still IT Flourishes!!


Weird Orgies? Wild Parties? Unleashed Passions? Thrills? Innocent Girls into Lives of Ruin?
Sign me up!

Bullets 4 Tha Cops


Another case of boxes of live ammo. In a rare moment of responsible thinking, the Junk Store Driver decided we should turn this stash over to the police before tragedy inevitably struck. So we labelled the box "Bullets 4 Tha Cops", stuck it up on the high shelf, and promptly ignored them unto our current date.



I actually think "Bullets 4 Tha Cops" is a great name for a gangsta rap track.

Stink Bombs



I don't know what is more classic... This pack of Stink Bombs, or the fact that I immediately dropped and broke (and therefore "set off") this one in the Sorting Room right after this photo was taken.

This long-necked styro-head reminds me of something familiar from deep within the Junk Store's past...


Ah yes, the old Alien mannequin head model from back in the day.
Memories.

Boobs




This was just hanging around the Junk Store and looked like it could use a little support.
