Happy Easter, everyone! \u00a0To mark today’s holiday, I’ve opened my archives and dug back to the 1990’s for a wonderful set of Sweetarts Easter promotional sales materials. \u00a0These feature a surprisingly diverse\u00a0and delightful array of Easter product under the Sweetarts family banner, so make the jump to check them out!<\/p>\n

Outside of the significant religious rituals and celebrations it entails, Easter can be\u00a0like many holidays; an opportunity to come together with family\u00a0that you might not see very often. \u00a0It’s also a chance to enjoy the more secular side of Easter tradition, one that seems\u00a0inevitably connected to Spring. \u00a0And chocolate bunnies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The secular side\u00a0of the holiday has\u00a0brought us annual traditions\u00a0like the Easter Bunny, Easter egg hunts and bad puns (Hoppy<\/em> Easter, anyone?). \u00a0In the world of candy it’s also brought us classics like\u00a0Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs<\/a>,\u00a0Marshmallow Peeps<\/a> and countless waves of pastel confectionery offerings<\/a>, many of them in bunny, chick or duck form. \u00a0Which you’ll defintely be seeing in today’s\u00a0post.<\/p>\n

The sales materials I’m\u00a0showcasing today were created for\u00a0retail and distributor clients, so most consumers would have never seen them. \u00a0 That means that there are going to be items I share\u00a0today that have rarely been viewed\u00a0outside of the candy industry. \u00a0Still, consumers\u00a0would have come across\u00a0many\u00a0of these Easter products in stores, so you might see things today that you remember or that look familiar. \u00a0 Whether these strike a familiar chord or not, I hope you find them as entertaining\u00a0to visit as I did. \u00a0Let’s get to them:<\/p>\n

The thing I found most remarkable about these promotional materials was just how much Easter-themed Sweetarts product there was back then. \u00a0I had no inkling it was this much stuff.<\/p>\n

Within the materials were also sheets of stationery. \u00a0Perhaps these could have been used for professional correspondence or price quotes?<\/p>\n
