Just another contemporary Dum-Dums wrapper I found in my stuff here.

Better Living, April 1954 Sad! I didn't even realize I had this cute little Easter ad waiting in the wings. I hope everyone isn't Eastered out already!

I've got a couple Choo Choo Charlie items in my collection, but until recently, I didn't have any of the original 1960's boxes. It's great to add two, I picked up recently.

I'd been wanting one of the Jujubes boxes with the bee mascot for some time, and thanks to my pal Gregg K, I now have this beauty. When I received it, it was still full of 30+ year old candy, but I surgically removed the nasty old bits so that I could store this one without fear of further deterioration. I really dig it. Thanks, Gregg!

In this '50s recipe for springtime fancy cake, a homemade yellow cake is spread with green buttercream frosting, then adorned with marshmallow flowers.

Red Hots are small hot cinnamon flavored candies that are sometimes called cinnamon imperials.

A classic Good and Plenty candy box. I was surprised to look in my files to realize that this is my first vintage box of these.

With this group of Nabisco candy boxes I'm posting, I'll have crossed 500 pieces from the Munktiki Collection I've shared here via Flickr - this Pom Poms box being number 501. It's a fun box of a great candy that comes from a collection I'm so happy to be able to share here. These are still around today, though they're now called Junior Caramels, after Junior Mints. This comes from the "Munktiki Collection", a large lot of consumer goods packaging saved and stored by Californian Paul Nielsen…

Even back in the 1960's and 1970's, candy companies would spin off their main brands into special versions - such is the case with Wild Cherry Dots. I love the colors scheme on this box - I think it's a subtle and striking at the same time. This comes from the "Munktiki Collection", a large lot of consumer goods packaging saved and stored by Californian Paul Nielsen during the 1970's. A collection I recently acquired and will be documenting here. For more on Paul's current activities, check…

What a fabulous Kraft box - dating back to 1974. Butter Mints always seemed to be something you'd find at one of your grandparents' houses, or at the register of a diner. How about that illustration on the back of the box?

All this talk of Cap'n Crunch had me jonesing for what used to be a treat for us kids - a steak-umm sandwich with a bowl of Kraft Mac 'n' Cheese. Not...

Ah, a vintage malted milk balls candy box. It seems to me that there used to be far more manufacturers of this treat in the past. Now, Whoppers just about have this market cornered - though I did find some delicious Necco-branded malted milk balls recently. They were great! Can't recall the name. These "Malties" are a small box, so these must have been much smaller than a standard Whopper-size. This comes from the "Munktiki Collection", a large lot of consumer goods packaging saved and…
