\"CC_Digimon<\/p>\n

Back in 2000-2001, Cadbury of Canada released a set of Digimon-themed Caramilk bars, featuring twelve different wrappers.\u00a0 Though barely a decade old, I could find no reference to this release or images of these wrappers online.\u00a0 Time to remedy that, CollectingCandy-style.<\/p>\n

Digimon began as a part of the “digital pet” phenomenon of the 1990’s.\u00a0 The first digital pet that I personally encountered was the Tamagotchi, when a co-worker brought one into work.\u00a0 I recall in 1996 or 1997, Marvel Comics editor James Felder<\/a> bringing his Tamagotchi into the office and gregariously sharing his experience of the digital creature with us.\u00a0 I don’t recall much about his Tamagotchi, but I’ll never forget how much I enjoyed James’ colorful interactions with it.<\/p>\n

Digimon or “Digital Monster” came soon after Tamagotchi, and the Digimon multimedia empire would soon follow — as would the chocolate bars.<\/p>\n

As I stated and based on what I’ve tracked down, this set appears to consist of twelve different wrappers.\u00a0 \u00a0 I believe these wrapper images represent another CollectingCandy.com exclusive premiere, so let’s get to them!<\/p>\n
