[Warning: Today’s post is a little bananas.]
Pablo Picasso had his “Blue Period” and Burt Convy’s Tatletales game show had its Banana Section, so perhaps it was destiny that the Tootise company would one day have a “Banana Period” of their own.
Yesterday, I received an e-mail from a CollectingCandy.com reader named Jeff, asking me about a candy box that he’d remembered from the early 1990’s but couldn’t find any information for online. He believed that what he was remembering was a box for Heide’s Mexican Hats and I’m inclined to agree with him. With this little mystery in mind I thought it was the perfect time to dedicate a post to the topic. So today I’ll be showcasing the trio of Mexican Hats candy boxes I have in my collection.
For today’s post, I’m going to share my collection of vintage wrappers from Boyer, a company best-known for their classic Mallo Cup. I’ve got a great range of historical Mallo Cup wrappers to show you as well as a few wrappers for some cool, rarely-seen Boyer treats that you won’t find anywhere else!
Welcome back for this week’s edition of Wacky Wednesdays! For today I’ve selected another offering from the recently-released Wacky Packages Old School series 4 – Now & Never. Now & Never is a parody of the 1970’s package for Now & Later.
Rovio released its signature game Angry Birds on December 11th 2009 and in just over three years since then it has become a marketing behemoth. With multiple sequels dominating the charts, Angry Birds also led to a deluge of licensed products including a number of notable consumable treats. Today I’ll be taking a look at the candy packaging side of Angry Birds with Healthy Food Brands’ Angry Birds Fruit Gummies!
If you’ve ever visited a theme park, you know that souvenirs are everywhere and come in all shapes and sizes. That’s certainly true for the Disney Parks and over the years they’ve released all manner of park-exclusive confections, with colorful packaging that likely became souvenirs for people around the globe. With that in mind, today I’m going to take a look at the pieces of Disney “souvenir” candy packaging I’ve got in my collection.
Welcome back to another edition of CollectingCandy.com’s Wacky Wednesdays! For this week’s post, I’ll be looking at a “lost Wacky” that was originally intended for release in 1973’s Wacky Packages series 5 but was pulled before the series was released. Thirty-five years later, Nastee Crush would finally see the light of day in 2008’s Wacky Packages Flashback series 1, as part of its Lost Wackys subset.
I wanted to follow-up yesterday’s Digimon post with Cadbury of Canada’s companion release from 2000; their series of Pokémon bars. Just like the Digimon, these were a licensed release that re-sized and re-branded Cadbury’s standard Caramilk bar, this time with a fun variety of Pokémon collectible wrappers.
Back in 2000-2001, Cadbury of Canada released a set of Digimon-themed Caramilk bars, featuring twelve different wrappers. Though barely a decade old, I could find no reference to this release or images of these wrappers online. Time to remedy that, CollectingCandy-style.
Last month I detailed my quest to track down and collect all of the current Hershey family King Size bar wrappers. Over the course of the following weeks, and trips through half-a-dozen states, I think I’ve picked up all of them. Today, I’d like to share the wrappers with you.
