SpitterCar!

SpitterCar07-17-06.jpg

This weekend, 13-year-old J.C. Paraskiewicz was presented the DAVID Seeds "Good Seed Award" at his home in Wilmington, DE. He's the only person even remotely near the local area who won the award, and he's one of only 18 people across the country who will win it this year. He received it for being a good ball-player, and a good person in his community (he's a boy scout and active in his church), and he now has a chance to win a trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

All of that is nice and fine and good. But what really caught our attention is the vehicle that transported the award to little J.C., pictured here. It's the DAVID Seeds Spittercar, and it actually spits full bags of seeds to fans, apparently at high velocities (the PR rep we talked to suggests you grab a baseball glove if you see the car in your neighborhood). The Spittercar is cruising the country this year to celebrate DAVID Sunflower Seeds' 80th anniversary tour. And also to creep you out just a little bit. There's a giant boy-face on it!! (Btw, if you can't read the bumper sticker in our shrunken version of the photo, it says "Spit Responsibly.")

That's disgusting.

 

If by disgusting you mean awesome.
