There were two different printings of the Ads, the first with long perforations on the stickers' die-cuts and the second with short perforations. 30 of the 36 3" x 5" cards were designed to look like miniature billboards with a die-cut around the parodied product, so it could be punched out of the horizontal billboard scene, then also be licked on the back and stuck to surfaces.

This series was followed by a somewhat different series called Wacky Ads in 1969, featuring parodies and roughs by Jay Lynch and Kim Deitch, with finished paintings by Tom Sutton. In all, 14 of the 44 cards were pulled from the series, all of them due to cease-and-desist letters sent to Topps by the companies that, at the time, owned the products being parodied. "Moron Salt" was pulled later and replaced by "Jolly Mean Giant", which was also pulled soon after that. Two of the cards – "Cracked Animals" and "Ratz Crackers" – were pulled from production after the initial run. This series featured parodies created by Art Spiegelman and primarily painted by Norm Saunders. The very first Wacky Packages series was produced in 1967 and featured 44 die-cut cards that were made to be punched out, licked on the back and stuck to surfaces. 4.2 Wacky Packages Postcards, Wacky Halloween Postcards and Wacky Packages Postcards April Fools 2020.
