I was going through some stuff a couple of days ago and came upon this bizarre artifact from the glory days of TMNT knock-off products. I can't recall how I obtained it some years ago -- I might have found it myself in a store, or someone may have sent it to me.
In any event, it is a VERY strange product. As you can see, the strangeness begins with the title: "Mighty Mutant Power Turtles Battle The Secretive Goo". Open the box (which measures about five inches along its longest side), and inside is what at first glance appears to be a VHS tape, but a shrunken one.
Flip open the side flap on this plastic case, and you realize it's NOT a tape of any kind, but a container for…
… a slab of bubble gum, which is molded to sort of look like... a VHS tape.
Who thinks this stuff up?
I did a Google search for ""Mighty Mutant Power Turtles" and found something on eBay which is similar, but instead of gum shaped like a VHS tape in a faux VHS tape case, it's gum shaped like a CD in a CD case.
Weird. -- PL
