I started the Candy Wrapper Archive as a fun project to catalog and archive my collection of candy wrappers online and give others a chance to share in some great old childhood memories. I am also always looking to make this site better, so if you have any suggestion please let me know.

The Collection behind the Archive

I started my collection sometime in the mid 1980s and I have been savings mainly standard and king-size wrappers on and off ever since. In the beginning and for most of the collections life I never thought of myself as a collector of candy wrappers. I mainly just ate the candy and then flatten the wrapper between two pages in a notebook. When a notebook was full of wrappers I would write the date on it and place it in a box with the rest and there they would sit never to be seen again, until now.

The Archive

Each wrapper is categorized by Brand name and given keywords to further group them for searches. The keywords will usually be Decade, Year, Product, Company, Country, Weight, Price, Barcode, special traits (contest, promotion, etc…) and then by any other keywords.

I plan to update the site when I get free time and with over 5000 US wrappers alone to upload, it will take a while. So, keep checking back.
