Capri Sun, Good for More Than Thirst

Junk Creation reader Sam, who happens to have amusing Pire of Pencilvania art up right now, sent me this link for Capri Sun purses.

To the Bat House

Start Your Bat Costume Today

I know that Halloween is still a few months away, but maybe some of you would like to dress up as a bat anyway?
