Yeah, I don't know what to make of it either. Mine appears to be unused. I came from a dairy company in Ohio. It was listed as a 1966 item and given Batman's popularity at about that time I suspect that's the case.
Front and back panels are identical while the sides have 'cards' meant to be cut out, one is a stand-up sort of thing.
There were also boxes containing 'Peninsula' Fruit Drink and Orange Drink. I'm not sure what 'Peninsula fruit' means. Florida? Upper Peninsula of Michigan (which is closer to Ohio)?
Just looking at these I can 'taste' the contents. And it ain't good. But I'm happy to have this oddball thing for my Batman collection.
Very cool oddball addition for your Batman collection. The Riddler card is a nice bonus. I wonder how many other characters were printed on these cartons.
ReplyDeleteI've got as many question marks floating around my head as the Riddler does... but it's a nice oddball. It might seem strange, but I got a little nostalgic for the Pure-Pak "TO OPEN" instructions on the top. :-D
ReplyDeleteGreat colors and graphics on these, for sure. I like the text underneath the Batman stand-up: ALL STAR DAIRY OFFICIAL HEADQUARTERS FOR BATMAN DAIRY PRODUCTS.
