Caramilk Wrapper Evolution

This to me is the classic Caramilk wrapper. Maybe it's when I started to pay attention in the late 80's.
And the whole advertising campaign they had with the Caramilk secret, even in the seventies and using the Mona Lisa and her smile....all of it quite brilliant. I love how the 'wave' graphic starts to change through the years and also you get to see the Cadbury logo change. As a personal note, I do not like the  foil wrappers that are used now as they are so much harder to open without tearing.

Chocolate Bar Certificate For A 100 Grand.

actually 100 grams
     Does this not look like a certificate or something like a stock or bond! Or the Golden Ticket from the Willy Wonka factory. The gold print and beautiful script lettering makes it look very regal and the separately stamped product batch number makes it look like it's registered and of course the gold foil wrap which starts to look like a gold bar.
     This wrapper is from around 1998, just before the 75th anniversary of Neilson's Jersey Milk in 1999 Though it was being made by Cadbury I am happy that they kept the old Neilson brand on the package and even to this day! After the 75th anniversary wrapper which was very similar to this one, they changed the package to a vertical sealed file wrap using mostly all the same design and coloring.
     What I find interesting is that really nobody, except for the graphic designers or printers, would ever have really seen the wrapper displayed in this fashion and it wasn't meant to be. I love it.

Bar Six

I have this thing for Candy and Chocolate Bar wrappers that I won't get into right now (In fact they seem important enough for me to capitalize them....hmmm), but I will confess to collecting them and whenever I have a chocolate bar I very delicately open them as to not damage the wrapper.

Almost ten years ago I was remembering a chocolate bar I used to get in the 70's called Bar Six, which was made by Cadbury and consisted of six attached fingers of chocolate covered wafers. Nobody seemed to remember this chocolate bar except me. I did not have the wrapper in my collection and I kind of wanted one. I searched the web but could not find any. I did not even find any images to curb the mystery of what it really looked like so that I could show people that this bar actually existed. So, I decided to reproduce my own from whatever recollections I had. The Image up top is the art I did at the time. The spirit is there even though I cringe now at my Adobe Illustrator skills back then, but it really worked for me at the time. 

Recently I did come across some wrappers on the web, just images, none actually for sale. So in the meantime, before that fine day of getting my very own Bar Six wrapper, I decided to make my own. Here is the made-up below (looks real don't it?), and at the bottom are 3 mock bars. Oh Yeah, now you want one!
