The most infamous Wacky Packages card is probably Ratz Crackers. Today Ratz Crackers is the rarest of Wacky Packages cards, with as few as 60 in existence, according to Argyropoulos.

Don Murphy, the father of the Pinewood Derby, has told his story at last, nearly a half-century after that first race. It was 1953, and Murphy was looking for a father-son activity he could do with his son, Donn. Young Donn was too young for the Soapbox Derby, so Murphy created a race using miniature cars. The Management Club of North American Aviation, where Murphy was the company's art director, sponsored that first race. Within a year, the Pinewood Derby had grown from a single Scout pack in California to across the United States.
