Bann Gass
FOUND by Linn
in Oslo, Norway
I found this on the street eight years ago and I've kept it in a box ever since. On the back it says "Step on the gas" in Norwegian. I love this boy who drinks soda and becomes a superhero!

young ed grimly perhaps? 'this soda is quite good, i mus'say'
this is so great
He has teletubby hair.
"F" for "Far out"!
This is probably my favorite find of all time. Except for the evil bunny that says RAWR.
...and in the name of the lollipop guild, we wish to welcome you to munchkin land.
Norwegian, huh? I'm about to start a Norwegian class this week.
what makes this find is the expressions on the kid's face. He's more like Dr. Jekyll Mr. Hyde. "I have no urge to drink this, but I must!" One thing he MUST be thinking is "F is for Fucking yucky." Good find.
Ok, that's amazing. I've been up since 8am yesterday, and will be up until late tonight, and nothing is going to make my day happier than thinking about this adorable little child.
What is that thing that looks like underwear? At first I thought it was supposed to be some sort of thong, or special super hero undies, but he doesn't have it in the second picture. Actually it kind of bothers me. What a strange find. I wonder what kind of paper this was printed on.
I like how the hair is all smooth when he's a superhero. He's got a secret identity!
First he's got f briefs and a dumb expression, then the F turns into a soda with an F, then back into briefs and a dumb expression, and then he's super F. This F must have the purposes of being his Clark Kent glasses, his spinach, and his super-emblem. Amazing. I call him F-boy. Step on that gas, F-boy!
I wonder if his parents cultivated this, hoping his little superhero game would turn him into a star. They sent Baby F to all the big names in Hollywood, only to be told they don't need a child wonder. Or maybe Baby F made it. We're rooting for you, Baby F!
Shana tova.
Ed Grimly as Caption Underpants.
This is one of the best finds I've ever seen.
It seems that the underwear like things maybe didn't fit, and he's just holding them in front to look like he's wearing them. I also think that the expression is supposed to make him look dumb until suddenly he turns into a superhero!
F is for FART you guys. Soda gives the boy GAS
Let's say this photo was lost soon after it was taken - found 8 years later - that would mean he would be in his teen years, right? Does he still think of himself as a superhero? Or is he mortified, fearful that this photo will be found? AND IT HAS BEEN......dun...dun...DUNNNNNN! It makes me giggle imagining him on this website - seeing the photo - spewing that same soda across the keyboard! Holy red herring! It's ME!!! AHHHHHHHH
Hi MJ! Anyone curious about centimes? If so, go back to yesterday. (If not, don't.)
this is disturbing on so many levels. but the boy has freaking sweet hair tho.
I'm wondering what else Linn keeps in that box where this photo was stored for 8 years.
This is an amazing find. So weird. Good tee shirt potential too!
where did his fanny pack go in the second picture? weird.
so what do you guys think the "F" could stand for? Any guesses?
Fanny boy, Fart boy, Face boy?
I have what may be a dumb question. If this is a pop ad, then why is the kid making a "yucky" face when he is drinking it. Don't you want people to think it is tasty? Or do they really mean to convince you that the taste is irrelevant, as it will make you into an "F"ing superhero? I am so lost...
He really reminds me of the boy in Little Rascals, i can't remember his name, when he's with Darla and he likes her and that bit of his hair stands up.
Was it Alfalfa?
Yes, Alfalfa!
However, I'm in agreement with Smoke and Keebler, that this could be a young Eddie Grimley. Totally decent Find, I must say.
Linn in Oslo, is there a Norwegian word that starts with "F" that would be appopriate for this superhero? (Bryan, you could earn extra credit if you know the answer.)
I just noticed there's an "F" on the bottle!
This is actually 4 different children. Salt's and my first attempt produced quadruplets (so magnificent is his seed.)
4 down, 6 to go!
I must say.. he doesn't look at all pleased to be a SuperHero. He's just like, "yeah. Rah. I'm super."
And what IS with the yeccch face when drinking the famed F cola? Not a very powerful ad campaign.
Excellent Find, though! Wish I could find something so cool. Alas, all I ever find are old shopping lists.
As you can see, the 4th one is a chip off the old Salt block. Unfortunately, the first 3 resemble their mother.
What a cute little boy with a dairy queen hairdo!
So where did SALT run off to before he finished making 10 boys? If there's a bun in the oven, as indicated by Unworthy's maternity skirt, he's halfway done. Perhaps he's in Norway search of F soda to nourish his super-offspring.
... veering off topic a tiny bit, i just got back from watching "Waitress." Fantastic movie!
F is for FACEBOOK, guys. Get with the times.
Freedom Man.
Freakboy.
Future Hero.
Failure Man.
Fun Boy.
Those aren't breifs,OR a fanny pack; that's the soda bottle! He's holding it sideways at waist height. Obviously a bottle that isn't really open. The foam inside gives the "white briefs" look.
The Dairy Queen hair is a hoot!
This looks like the typical "running gag" family in-joke my Swedish friends from college loved to indulge in.
Alfafa! Yes that's it. Thanks clover growing in the lawn.
Terrie! I though Willy Wonka too! lol Too funny!
"step on the gas". I hope the "f" doesn't stand for "fuel".. and the poor kid's guzzling premium gasoline!
whatever it is, he doesn't seem too keen on giving it a try.
Those "yuck" faces are really painful transformation faces. Getting that Herbie the Dentist hair to settle down must have hurt! (Unworthy, I can't believe you'd hook up with Salt. What possessed you?)
This impish pixie is my new hero.
Clover: My box is full of finds :-D
Night (in Gale): I've no idea. I think it's some kind of flyer, but it doesn't give any other clues than these pictures and "Step On The Gas".
even though it kind of freaks me out (especially the f-panties), i really dig this find. if i were a guy, i would SO sport a twirl top haircut like his.
The first and third shots are ads for the new American Apparel kids line. Second and fourth shots are candid shots where he doesn't have to hook his little thumbs into stupid briefs a la their other ads.
So that's what Ed Grimley was doing before he hit the big time!
Codpiece, people, the panties are called a codpiece, and all good superheros have them.
His hair isn't slicked, it's shaved!
and he doing a Seig Heil!
He's not just a super hero, he's a fucking NAZI superhero. The F is for Fascism! Don't drink the soda people, don't do it!
Is this a young Max Perlich from Gummo ?
Ok... the kid has kewpie hair and then looks like dracula at the end. Can ANYONE out there shed some light on this strange and disturbing find? But seriously... the first frame? The kid's face is priceless.
Haha Rex.
I personally love the fanny pack. And the hair. This one's a winner.
