Apple Jack No.1

I've been going to Kroger ( a big grocery chain in GA) to buy my fruits and vegetables. They have this "marketplace" thing going, and I must say that they have absolutely fantastic specimens of produce sometimes. This apple is actual size relative to the jack and its huge ( the apple). Are we better farmers? Or...you think there's a little extra additive? Man, I hope so! Maybe, all these chemicals will give me some sort of super-powers! Like the ability to injest any poison ( Poison Drinker-Man?), or the ability to squirt fruit jelly of any flavor out of my elbow ( "Hold on! Don't eat that english muffin plain!").

This is also the first in a series of super-produce that I'll be working on.

Ain't Love Grand

This from a "novelty item" from 1959. These plastic figures have a little magnet in them and when they get close together...look out! The back actually has instructions for use. No.1- a picture of two hands holding each doll with a "?" by each one. No.2 -a picture of the hands slamming the two figures together. And No.3-a picture of the two dolls together with some red "action lines" above their heads...

The box has these little phrases on the sides enclosed in little hearts with things like: "George love Margaret","Harry Daisy 12-6-1959", and my favorite "Greetings from New York".
