It was the older packages I was more interested in, J.

The corn flakes with the rooster is my favorite. I think we discussed it once.

Flicks. They were chocolate drops made by Ghiradelli. Came in different colored tubes. Interesting use of sans serif font early on.

These came out in the very late '60s/early '70s with space craze. I made my mom buy these. They were crap. Like eating chewy chocolate chalk.

Golden Crisp was originally Super Sugar Crisp, and their mascot Sugar Bear. I can't believe my mother actually bought that stuff for me. Super Sugar Crisp was also the first breakfast cereal (that I know of) to put cardboard records on the back of the box ("FULL FIDELITY", it says here!). They had a number of Archies releases, and later The Monkees (I had "Forget That Girl"), The Jackson 5ive ("I Want You Back"), Bobby Sherman and possibly others. For a record-obsessed (and sugar-fueled) youngster like me, this was magic. The Mint condition "factory flat" pictured below is presently offered for sale on eBay for about $300. And the sad thing is, I'm tempted!

I was pretty bored yesterday so I watched a series called The Foods that Built America. Focused on Hershey, Heinz, Birdseye, Mars, and a few others. It was interesting to see that Hershey designed his employee town before he had a product and sold chocolate to Mars for a long time.
The McDonalds brothers sold their burger making progress to other entrepeneuers for $950 a lesson, and the guy who founded Burger King and Taco Bell, were among those who took the classes.

History Channel, or National Geographic or something. Funny the way they reenacted those scenes between Mr. Hershey and the Mars fella. Are those Hershey Kisses still a big thing in the US? They were the first mass-produced chocolate candies, weren't they? They keep trying to get us to buy Hersheys here but we ain't buyin' it *proud*

For every holiday, they wrap them in different colors. You can't buy them in a roll like they showed the original packaging. Like the Flicks above.
