P.E.T. is E.T.’s alien cousin made of polyethylene terephthalate

p-e-t-is-e-t-s-alien-cousin-made-of-polyethylene-terephthalate<p>For those of us who survived the 80&#8217;s we fell in love with a latex/polyurethane puppet that had an extendable neck, glow-in-the-dark bulbous finger tips, and the capacity to make bicycles fly. This puppet was an alien that got stranded on Earth, and needed help from a pre-teen boy to get back home. You can imagine how this pitch must have sounded to the producers, but &#8230; it worked! And E.T. grossed more than triple what it cost to make. Not a bad ROI either.</p> <p>E.T.&#8217;s cousin P.E.T. had a similar experience, only he was a boston round made of polyethylene terephthalate. He didn&#8217;t have glow-in-the-dark bulbous finger tips, but he could make pre-teen boys on bicycles fly, as is shown in our parody poster below.<i> </i>We named our film, <i>P.E.T: Polyethylene Terephthalate and Its Adventure on Earth</i>. Kind of catchy, isn&#8217;t it?</p> <p><img class=aligncenter src=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/wallpaper/2013/1600x1200_pet.jpg alt= width=600 height=450 border=0 /></p> <p><b>Visit <a href=https://www.containerandpackaging.com/wallpaper>www.containerandpackaging.com/wallpaper</a> to see ALL 12 of this year&#8217;s calendar images as well as images from 2012, 2011, 2010, and 2009.</b></p>
