About the site:

CollectingCandy.com’s mission is the celebration of candy packaging, candy marketing, and the people behind it all.

Visitors should expect the site to be composed of short daily blog entries, while regularly offering in-depth looks into specific brands and categories through longer features.   Expect to see images of packaging and learn details of candy history you won’t find anywhere else.

When possible, CollectingCandy.com also hopes to shine an entertaining and positive light on the unknown stories and colorful personalities behind some of candy’s well-known brands and forgotten favorites.
