Today’s post marks the 200th entry for CollectingCandy.com, so I thought it was appropriate to share something a bit expansive.\u00a0 With that thought, today I’ll be presenting a very cool promotional brochure Topps provided to buyers picturing their 1974 product lineup.\u00a0 It’s a great piece with several photos of things I’ve not seen anywhere else.<\/p>\n

The front and back covers of the fold out brochure feature what you might expect, with an overview, and a checklist:<\/p>\n

And finally, here’s the best part – the collection of photos.\u00a0 It’s what makes this brochure pure gold to me:<\/p>\n

A lot of those images are pretty small, so I’m going to provide closeups today as well.\u00a0 Many of the products on this collected image will be the topic of future posts here on the site, so I won’t spend too much time discussing them today.\u00a0 Consider this all a bit of an extended teaser for goodies yet to come.<\/p>\n

Okay, let’s get to some of the highlights:<\/p>\n

Bubble Gum Shake, Gum Berries Raspberry,\u00a0 Shazam Fruit Beverage<\/p><\/div>\n

Big Buddy Watermelon, Candy Pennies, Name Droppers, Gumniks, Bozo Gum, Bazooka roll, Snappy Gator<\/p><\/div>\n

Pretty neat to see all of those classic 70’s products lined-up, don’t you think?<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoyed this look at a great piece of candy ephemera and historical reference.\u00a0 I also hope you are enticed by the teaser of what will likely be several different posts based upon the products featured in this brochure.\u00a0 It’s going to be fun!<\/p>\n

And that’s everything for today.\u00a0 See you next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
