This is the Canadian version of 7-11's superhero Slurpee cups that filled stores in the early to mid-70s.It's obviously the same use of a stock pose from the American version, except for some the reason the logo and background element have been removed, and there have been some minor art adjustments.
Man, Slurpees were a lot smaller back then.
The colors on these are perfect tho. Eyepopping! The 'moon glasses' didn't quite capture that imo, but I still use mine everyday.
ReplyDeleteI always find Aquaman, never any others, in fact one flea market vendor local to me had dozens of him.

"...I think not..."
(And the real evil part is, I read an article about "Super-Sizing" once: in all the tons of polling corporations do, basically NO ONE had asked for "bigger portions." It's purely a top-down, bait 'em, hook 'em, & fleece 'em racket!)
...and what's the deal with "do you want two apple pies for a dollar?" question, I feel like telling them I can't even choke down those greasy fries, let alone one apple pie, why would I want two?
ReplyDeleteOh, and, nice cup Rob! I'm wishing these things were in stores now. Mmmmmm, a slurpee in a super hero cup! Nothing says summer better!
If I were a real man, I'd make a point of going out there and buying every one of those cups. I own not a one, but I love them all! Such perfectly chosen super-hero representation. So much merch art these days is so damned UGLY!
ReplyDeleteThe drinks certainly are bigger then back then. These days if I order a drink I have to order a small or medium. A large is big enough to swim in.
