Okay, so let's look at the other side of the Hunter/Hunted equation. Let's say you are Wile E. Coyote, and you still feel that impulse to trust everything that ACME sells. Pick your favorite "sight-unseen" method of catching the Road Runner above.

(Note, these products are not meant to be from any real cartoons. To my knowledge, they are original inventions thought up by my own caffeine-driven mind.)

(Also note: These items are not actually for sale by any ACME company, real or implied.)

(Yet another note: See your doctor before attempting to use any of these products. Side effects could include painfull trips off of cliffs.)

Well, when you think about it, P&tB have had as much success in taking over the world as Wile E. has had in catching the Road Runner. Wouldn't they make a great team?

After all, didn't they mention in the Roadrunner cartoon "Freeze Frame" (1979) that roadrunners hate snow?

I have seen that one, and it is not that bad.

I voted for the Traffic lights. I wonder- the Coyote puts them at a crossroads, turns the lights red,the Road Runner stops at the lights, Wile. E jumps to pounce on him-and is run over by a car. A great visual gag! :D

Yeah, but I could see the avalanche better. That would be cool!

Well, I guess it could be a snow avalanche, but I thought it meant a rock avalanche.

I chose "other" because I would buy the Deluxe Roadrunner TV Dinner. Because there's no way you will catch that bird! Stop killing yourself! :D

Knowing Wile E., the microwave would probably short-circuit and electrocute him. ;)

I never thought of the possibility that it wasn't snow.

Deluxe Roadrunner TV Dinner? That doesn't sound like something the Acme company would sell.

Sure they do! They sell practically everything! In fact, I hear that particular item comes with mashed potatoes, mac 'n' cheese, and a little brownie that you can put icing and sprinkles on. :D

Anyway, I'd go with "Other" - 1 box of Acme Trick Exploding Tennis Balls. I've been meaning to work on my serve. :p

Probably right, but they would not sell it to the coyote. Think how much money they would lose on future products!
