Subject: Topps Trading Cards

Written By: Wicked Lester on 4/5/2001 at 12:17 a.m.

Back in the early to mid 70s I used to buy trading cards/stickers from Topps, but they weren't sports cards. They were parodies of commercial products and some that I remember are Ratz (Ritz) Crackers and Weakies (Wheaties) Cereal. Anyone else remember these, or know if they are still made?
