Time To Blossom, Hershey

This package is way overdue for a redesign, or, go back to the old one. It probably changed to this ugly thing when Hershey took over this confection from Lowney. The photo of the chocolate looks awful even though they used the same image as the previous package. It’s a bad colour reproduction. And the yellow colour of the box looks weird too as if it’s a miss-tint of yellow, more on the green side than orange which unfortunately does not show in this photo below.

I don’t know how the sales are of these things. They must be alright because they are still making them. I love them (even though hey are terribly sweet) and have been eating them for over 40 years. I am really glad they, in this day and age where food stuff packaging is all plastic or foil-sealed, that they have remained wrapped in the old fashioned chocolate bar foil, and are in a box that you don’t have to rip open.

Here is a link to a great commercial for Cherry Blossom from the 70’s

This is what it feels like to eat these things!

2-Color POP Box

I have a few old candy boxes and these pictured below are a couple of my favorites. I absolutely love the bygone era of simple graphics in the use of basic one or two-color design.   

Turkish Delight Box 5.5 x 9.75 x 3.25 inches

A turkish delight wrapper today. In a way it's really not that much different than the old.

Hershey's Almond box 5 x 7.5 x 2.25 inches

This is a very well crafted box and probably sturdier than need be for it's rather smallish size. The inner box also has printing on the sides that mirror what is on the outside box cover and the bottom of the box has a caution label that want the store owner to make sure to take care of their chocolate bars.
