Michael Jackson Chocolate Bar

While browsing through the Candy Curator‘s extensive gallery of candy packaging pictures, I came across the gem you see above. A Michael Jackson Premium Swiss Milk Chocolate Bar. The Candy Curator says this about it: “Thriller-era Michael Jackson Swiss milk chocolate bar. Acquired by purchase from a dollar store, circa 1993. The curator’s most prized artifact.” Yeah, I think that would be my most prized candy artifact too…and he bought it at a dollar store! I don’t think those would sell too well nowadays – something about “strangers with candy”, you know?

Be sure and check out his whole site while you are there. He’s got lots of other interesting stuff like Elvis candy, Shut Up! Gum, and the ever-popular Corona Beer Can Mints.

I do love candy, but I’m also a major geek so when candy and geekiness come together, I’m in heaven. Above is a photo I found on Flickr of the old Apple logo made out of Hershey’s Kissables. Sweet.

Ok, maybe I don’t stay in hotels much, but I didn’t even know getting a room with a candy vending machine was even an option! And it’s only 5 cents too! The caption for the photo says

In your hotel room, you see a candy machine that takes nickels. You have a quarter, a dime, and three pennies. How do you get the candy?

Sounds like an old Infocom text adventure.
use machine
or maybe
get change
or maybe just
go east

I hope there aren’t any grues around. Does anybody even get the Infocom reference or am I just a geek?
