Coming in under the wire for Independence Day, I wanted to feature a fun set of patriotic candy packaging I picked up last year. Clearly designed to mark the 4th of July holiday, today I want to share a set of five different Charms Blow Pop Minis boxes!
Since launching CollectingCandy back in 2012, I’ve celebrated July 4th by showcasing Mike and Ike’s patriotic offerings from a decade ago as well as a fantastic set of Nestle wrappers from the 1970’s that featured flags of the American revolution.
The boxes I’m going to share today are wonderful in their designs and the fact that there are five different variety of them. I nearly missed these Blow Pop Minis boxes as I never saw them at retail – instead I only ever found them offered on the Tootsie direct sales site. Here they are:
Tootsie Roll Industries – Charms Blow Pop Minis – Red White & Blue – 3 oz candy box – Summer 2013-A
Tootsie Roll Industries – Charms Blow Pop Minis – Red White & Blue – 3 oz candy box – Summer 2013-B
Tootsie Roll Industries – Charms Blow Pop Minis – Red White & Blue – 3 oz candy box – Summer 2013-C
Tootsie Roll Industries – Charms Blow Pop Minis – Red White & Blue – 3 oz candy box – Summer 2013-D
Tootsie Roll Industries – Charms Blow Pop Minis – Red White & Blue – 3 oz candy box – Summer 2013-E
Pretty fun series of boxes, don’t you think?
Time for me to get back to enjoying fireworks and delicious 4th of July treats. Hope everyone has a safe and fun Independence Day holiday weekend. See you next time!
