Creepy clown or not? You choose.

    1. I wondered the same thing! That's pretty interesting bottle for prune juice. I wonder if any of them exist anymore.

  2. Very creepy clown... I wonder if they used this campaign when the circus was in town or on its way? Or did they just think circus people had constipation...?

    1. Well, it certainly would have got people talking. But then I'm wondering how tired that particular clown got having "Hey look, it's the constipated clown!" yelled at him. Perhaps he was known as Pluggo.
