4. The fifth and last series Without a Light Blue or Light Pink name bar.

5. The nineth series to contain cards with The GPK Acronym found within the artwork. The GPK acronym found on the cheerleader's shirt of cards 551a "Rah Rah RONI" and 551b "Sis Boom BONNIE". The GPK acronym found on the root beer can of cards 557a "STU Brew" and 557b "Empty KEN ". And, the GPK's RULE! acronym found on the school desk (by hand) of cards 575a "Brain Drain BRIAN" and 575b "Pick A WINNIE".

6. The second series to have exactly the Same Name as another series -- cards 558a "HANS Off" and 514b "HANS Off" (13th series).

7. The series contains a product parody poking fun at Topps' own "Bazooka Gum" property ... besides previous GPK characters like "JOE Blow" and "Bazooka JOANNE" parodying the Bazooka Joe character mascot for the BAZOOKA gum comics, cards 563a "Potato CHIP" and 563b "DICK Tater" have a character watching a television news program with a can of pop called "Bazooka" next to the TV set.

8. The GPK character on cards 556a "Mothy MARTHA" and 556b "Nailed NATALIE", minus the 'new' style of ears, looks to be as close to the old CPK-Style Of GPK as possible, including the five fingers and yarn-like hair.

9. The series has two cards with the Same First Name -- cards 551b "Sis Boom BONNIE" and 565a "Easter BONNIE".
