Bottle Caps
Via House Industries’ blog; lower photo: from Andrew Mudd’s Flickr Photostream
Further to my Wonka Candy research… edible candy bottle caps. Candy packaging often tends towards novel gimmicks and borrowed interest. Cross-packaging references to bottles or other types of product containers abound. (See Toxic Waste). Here, there is some logic to the reference, since the candy is “soda-flavored.”
(An early Bottle Caps pack & another soda theme candy product after the jump…)
