Vintage BATMAN DC SUPERHERO Food Product Packaging

As a Serious BATMAN Collector I go completely goo-goo over "Food Products", ha ha! I mean, they're usually items you consumed as a little kid so they bring back a lot of nostalgic memories. Plus, I love the Packaging Design ( Fonts, Graphics, etc... )

Here are a few random examples:

The 1st image are 2 different BATMAN PEANUT BUTTER Jars. The one on the left is from ©1966 ( glass jar, metal lid ) and the other one is from ©1978 ( all plastic ). Cool Graphics!

Next up is a box of Nabisco DC SUPERHEROES Cookies. OK, totally wonderful vintage graphics from ©1982. It's funny how this artwork almost seems "retro" now, ha!

Then we have 2 different advertisements: The 1st one is pretty special because this appeared in Retail Store Sales Brochures in Finland. Yes, Finland! Back in the 1960's they had BATMAN Soda Pop and finding one of these extremely rare bottles today is like the Holy Grail of collecting.

Last, but not least, is a more current Magazine Ad for DC SUPERHERO Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. There were 3 different boxes of the Trinity: Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman. These were made ©1998 and were kind of tied into the Batman TV Cartoon of the time. I actually remember buying these when they were in stores and the pasta was in "Superhero" shapes, ha!

OK, Do YOU have any Rare unusual "Batman Food Products" in YOUR collection? If so then shoot us some pics today. Remember: Sharing the love of collecting is what the Bat-Blog.Com is all about!
