Ah the acme days! What a shame the company went bust!!
Great fun article. I agree with RJ but I think the reason for it goig bust was the supply of dehydration tablets dried up and the company went into liquidation.
Instant girl would be a nice addition to my life at times.
wonderful and funny
Really great I stumbled this for you.
Fun article. I used to watch a lot of Bugs Bunny and The Road Runner as a kid.
Very hilarious indeed…nice photos.
Im not a big fan of the road runner.But bugs bunny is so irritating, I just HAD to watch it with my younger cousin..
You’ve made me nostalgic. Nice article.
That took me back too! Loved it!
I love this article. Those old cartoons always make me laugh. Someone to report ACME to the Better Business Bureau
I used to love the road runner cartoons. Don’t see cartoons like this anymore. I agree with a couple of comments: the cartoons take me back and the instant girl would be fun.
thank you, stumbleupon
Man that must’ve taken a while to research..
Awesome article!
Great article! I love it!
I want a jet propelled pogo stick.
Fun Fact: I believe the name ACME is an inside joke; it means American Cartoon Manufacturers Enterprise!
Yeah, Acme is an animator’s in-joke. Acme is a real company that sells cartooning paper and supplies!
In a world of madness, these products are beginning to make some sense, at least we get the silliness from it all! (Which is way more than we get from the current shennaigans being plated out in politics, the economy et al.)
great stuff! i wonder if there’s such brand as ACME…
This is insanely funny! I am huge Buggs Bunny RoadRunner fan and ACME was what made it great! Thanks! Thumbs up with this and I will share.
this is an awesome article. nice!
What a charming and funny article–and the pictures are so engaging! Well done. This one gets a Buzz Up.
Good job! I wrote about it before–many others have written it before me, and written it better–know thyself, and to thine own body be true.
