OMG Is the Sincerest Form
Out in front of the pack with an obvious joke.
Remember this post from the summer of 2006 in which I joked about the snack packaging you see to the right?
Apparently, I was not the only one to notice the ambiguous interpretation of that packaging. I noticed a very similar photo on someone else’s Flickr stream, and then decided to do a search to see just how many people noted the same thing. Here’s what I found:
- doctordavepix says OMG!! CHOLESTEROL!! LOL!
- marctakespictures says OMG! Cholesterol!
- Hivelogic says OMG Cholesterol
- hobs707 says OMG CHIPS
That last one was even on Digg this weekend. Got a whopping 7 Diggs. Old nooz.
There’s probably more if you do what I did and search omg cholesterol flickr or omg cholesterol.
- This one looks like a pic of a different product.
- And another, on Fig Newtons.
- And a really blurry one with some REALLY ANNOYING music on ytmnd.com. I warned you.
- And another ytmnd.com with different loud, annoying music (I warned you). Same snacks this time.
- High resolution photo of the same brand of snack, but not on Flickr.
- Another annoying ytmnd.com, same annoying music (inexplicably), Oreos this time.
I’m sure there are more out there.
Who knew that so many people found cholesterol funny?
