Hi, you just
reached site about my collection of chocolate wrappers now in new location!
All galleries
will be reworked in 2008 i hope.
I have created
this site to:
-
popularize this
hobby
-
let anybody browse
chocolate wrappers from five continents
-
find new collectors
of chocolate wrappers in world to exchange chocolate wrappers and cooperation.
I hope content
of my site can help not only to chocolate collectors but also anybody who
loves chocolate! I wish that browsing my site may inspire some visitors
to start their own collection of chocolate wrappers.
Sites contain
basic facts about my collection, about chocolate wrappers, collecting,
links to sites of chocolate bars manufacturers , large collection
of my scanned wrappers - all are real wrappers from my collection - so
you can see chocolate wrappers from entire world. |
My
collection
I started
my collection of chocolate wrappers in about 1989, when I was nine. I used
to collect stamps, but I wanted to collect something really different.
Then I received some wonderful Swiss Lindt and Nestlé chocolates whose
wrappers were much more beautiful than any Czechoslovakian wrapper at that
time. I kept these wrappers and from this moment my collection began.
My collection
increased slowly over the years, but there was a period between 1993 and
1996 when I didn't bother too much with collecting. I reached 1000 wrappers
in 1997 and next year I met other people with similar collecting
interests and I got also access to Internet. This was the turning point
in my collecting, since then my collection has increased much more quickly.
Very first version of my chocolate site was published in December
1999 and I hope it has helped to many people ( including me :).
There are
many ways how to obtains new wrappers - buying chocolates, from friends,
from exchange, from companies...
I would especially
like to get wrappers from countries which are still missing in my collection
- I think it can be about up to 30 countries now. It is the most important
aim for me now. Most of these countries are from Africa, arabic world,
Caribbean area, small american countries, tiny european countries and Oceania.
I think there are about 130 countries in world where chocolate is ( was)
produced. |

What
is chocolate wrapper and what not
For me it
is the wrapper from a chocolate bar, tablet, slab, napolitain, egg or chocolate
candy bar (where chocolate creates important part of product - at least
30% - for example Kit Kat or Mars bar) where is any information about
the producer or the product no matter its weight or material. You can see
many examples in my MUSEUM.
I don´t mind
if the wrapper is from "real" chocolate ( with cocoa butter and without
vegetable fats ) or from a chocolate like product without cocoa butter.
What is not
the chocolate wrapper for me:
Chocolate
( or fat couverture) coated candy like waffers, müsli bars where chocolate
coating is only up to about 30% of weight of candy. I also don't collect
wrappers from M & M´s, Smarties ( except Smarties in chocolate
bars ), Lentilky and similar candy and wrappers from chocolate pralines
in boxed assortments.
