When Consumer Products Fight Back, A Short Film

October 16, 2018 by Chris Durso

What if we didn’t need commercials and Facebook ads to sell us products? And, what if those products could, instead, literally sell themselves?

Product Wars offers a short glimpse into this idyllic turned dystopian future, where consumer products are industrially-engineered to become their own mascot. Keeping in mind humans’ capitalist urges and their ease in discarding stuff that’s no longer of use to them, it should be no surprise that things don’t end well.

Perhaps the gun-wielding apple keeping an eye on a shackled hostage was a spoiler. See it all unfold below.

This Singing Lady In A Bathtub Will Gladly Hold Your Dish Scrubber

March 27, 2017 by Chris Durso

Scrubbing dishes shouldn’t be overly dramatic. The Soap Opera Dish Scrubber Holder is here to change all of that.

Not only will you have a tiny singing diva sitting on your countertop, but her hairstyle is interchangeable depending on the sponge or scrubber you use.

You could also use the Soap Opera to hold your loofah sponge… if you’re also the type who enjoys singing in the bathtub. Check it out here.

Wacky Packages, Making Fun of American Products One Sticker at a Time

February 16, 2012 by Chris Durso

For those who didn’t grow up in the 70s or early 80s, Wacky Packages might be lost on you. Because it was around that time that the satirical sticker series was at its popularity apex, and its sophomoric play on words was actually considered high comedy.

Originally released in 1967 by Topps, Wacky Packages bashed U.S. products, and were a thinly-veiled criticism of American advertising and consumerism. However, that wasn’t what made kids at the time collect these by the pack.

Rather, it was our familiarity with these everyday products and awesome illustration, mixed with gross-out humor. That’s also what made any flat surface a potential canvas for a Wacky Packages sticker collage.

From Footsie Rolls and Plastered Peanuts to Hostage Cupcakes and Raw Goo Spaghetti Sauce — no consumer product was safe from being mocked in sticker form.

Who remembers these and/or had a fridge covered in them?
