The Candy Wrapper Museum

I found this website while doing my regular all things candy bar wrappers search recently on google and thought it would be fun to share.

It is a cool little site started by Darlene Waddington, with a great history on herself and how she came up with the idea of telling the candy wrapper story online.

Probably my favorite part of the site is her images and discussion about candy bars that have shown celebrities on their wrappers over the years.  Anyone for a Mr. T bar?  She also has a Pete Rose bar that I remember growing up as a kid in Cincinnati.  I used to love those as well as chugging them down with a big can of Pete Rose chocolate drink which I still have a can of someone in storage at home (don't tell my wife or she will find it and throw it away as excess clutter).  This of course was long before Pete Rose let the baseball world down by being a major league gambler.

Personally, I am a Johnny Bench fan.  While he doesn'€™t have any candy bars with him on the wrapper, he does have a very nice scotch label right now.

So check out the candy wrapper museum site, and please feel free to email me if you see any other candy related sites of interest out there at sjfrederick@carsonbars.com.  Around here, we love all the candy information and news we can get.
