I’ve often pointed out that where candy packaging is concerned sometimes tracking down a specific piece can be much like archaeology. Oftentimes you start without any hard evidence that a piece existed at all. Sometimes that first evidence is a photo or the mention of the product on a list or ad. In some instances the path to discovery can take a good deal of time, a good deal of luck, or both.
Such was the case with the subject of today’s post; a pair of holiday-themed Willy Wonka candy boxes from the early 1990’s that I recently had the pleasure of uncovering.
