WTF Wednesday: Weiner Nougat, Synchronized Peeing

It's Wednesday! It's WTF!

Some weeks have more WTF than others, but this one had less. I'd done so much thrifting the week before that I skipped last week, but I still have this to present to you today.

While researching the age-old question, "What IS nougat?"* I came across this product. 



Wiener nougat.

Wiener in the Vienna sense of the word.

Last but not least, the couple who pees together...

screw you, vince lombardi sweater! i found the russia sucks hat!

in a turn of events i can only describe as tragic, some other vintage sellers from tennessee recently came into the asheville thrift zone and found a vince lombardi west point sweater, which they proceeded to sell for over $40,000

well guess who found the vintage 80's "russia sucks" *blinking light* velvet mesh trucker hat?

it is cold war chic, rocky 4 come to life. 

at the modest price of $10,000, you could buy 4 of these for one vince lombardi sweater. but good luck finding 3 more.
