Topps 1973-4 Wacky Packages

1973-4 5th series

These are fun stickers produced by Topps. I think they are self explanatory. But here's the official description..

"Wacky Packages are a series of humorous trading cards featuring parodies of consumer products. The cards were produced by Topps beginning in 1967, first in die-cut, then in peel-and-stick sticker format. There were 16 series produced between 1973 and 1977, with some reprints and several new series released up to the present day."

NOT SO FUNNY!
Several companies sent "Cease and Desist" letters over the parody of their products. Sone even sued Topps. The image(not mine) showing Tetly Tea is an example of a company that didn't laugh.

BIG MONEY!
Some of these discontinued and pulled stickers can be worth hundreds to thousands to collectors. There are currently single cards and sets of cards that sellers are asking $2500 to $15,000!
