The Candy Wrapper Museum

by Mike Durrett
for About.com

The Candy Wrapper Museum: "Where wrappers are to be enjoyed as art, nostalgia, and humor." See a giant batch of sugary treats history collected in earnest and munchies since 1977.
Educational, Too!: Curator: "One thing I learned the hard way is that no matter how chemically inert or unresembling food a candy product might be, it will eventually become molecularly unstable and turn into a hideous, sticky goo. For this reason, you'll see precious little candy in this museum. However, amazingly enough, the candy that I kept actually held up for about twenty years before I had to throw most of it out. Based on this experience, I'd say 25 years is the point when you've kept the candy too long."
Flavors: The colorful candy package photographs are accompanied by captions with amusing insight, all sorted into these tasty bite-size portions:
  • Big Eats
  • Celebrities
  • Classics
  • Critters
  • Don't Eat!
  • Faces
  • Foreign
  • Grown-Up
  • Holidaze
  • No Fun
  • Vices
At last, a Web site to leave a good taste in your mouth, like Mr. T's Gold Chain Bubble Gum, Stogies, and Pizza to Blo.
