Now You Can Eat and Drink Like Garbage Pail Kids

It’s time for a trip to the mall!

The Garbage Pail Kids‘ resurgence continues with a new collaboration between FYE and The Topps Company.

For the first-time-ever, you can enjoy culinary and beverage experiences from the Garbage Pail Kids (GPK) brand, including cereal — described as “Crazy Crips with Marshmallow Barf Bits” — chocolate bars, and energy drinks.

“As long-time Garbage Pail Kids fans, we are excited to be bringing this pop-culture classic to our customers in new and innovative ways,” says Jodie Evans, FYE’s SVP of entertainment merchandising and marketing. “FYE stores will be adorned with custom window signage by fan-favorite GPK artist Joe Simko. “To further the interactive experience, we’ll be hosting Joe at a variety of live events to autograph cereal boxes, provide GPK sketches and engage with fans.”

Simko created exclusive art for the GPK cereal boxes, and each box contains two special Topps GPK trading cards (four cards to collect in all). Perhaps the most famous of the GPK characters, Adam Bomb is featured across the line with a Cherry Bomb energy drink and a candy-infused, cherry-flavored chocolate bar. Leaky Lindsay’s chocolate bar features a slimy green center.

Plus, the FYE GPK collection of must-have merch will include officially licensed apparel and collectibles.

If this isn’t enough GPK action, you should check out what Greenlight Collectibles has been working on.
