\"\"<\/a>PB Max was a delicious treat first put out by the M&M\/Mars company in 1989.\u00a0 I loved the candy itself, but it also had a striking wrapper design, and as a collector I’ve coveted adding one to my collection for some time, and this week, I did.<\/p>\n

I finally tracked down a PB Max wrapper (an unused proof version of one, actually) from its 1989 introduction.\u00a0 And boy is it a pretty one.<\/p>\n

M&M-Mars - PB Max - NEW - candy bar wrapper proof - 1989<\/p><\/div>\n

M&M\/Mars have issued some of my favorite candy bar wrappers over the years with striking, bold designs.\u00a0 I put the PB Max wrapper design right up there with that of my all-time favorite, the Marathon bar<\/a>.\u00a0 It’s another discontinued classic.<\/p>\n

That’s all for PB Max – just a short post today.<\/p>\n

Before I go, I would like to point to two other great bits of reminiscence of PB Max – via two friends of CollectingCandy.com:<\/p>\n
