I’ve been feeding a Kit Kat addiction for the better part of the summer. Wait, is it technically no longer summer? Crap. My addiction may be bi-seasonal. In any event, it’s led me on a search for vintage Kit Kat wrappers. (Don’t judge me.) And my vintage Kit Kat search has led to a Pandora’s box of vintage candy fantasticness: vintage wrappers, boxes, advertisements… all that I and my Kit Kat could ever hope for.
Many thanks to Jason Liebig’s Candy & Snacks Flickr set, which is where I found these little confectionary lovelies:











YUM. I love Clark bars and Zagnut!
And look at these great ads:

Mmmmmm kit kats. One of the best candy bars! My favorite candy bar of all time, though, is Watchamacallit. Now I want one!

Thanks for the stroll down candy memory lane!

My pleasure!
Did you hightail it to the local candy store to satisfy a sudden craving?

It’s funny because I’ve always liked Kit Kats just fine, but I never really saw what the big deal was. I’d much rather prefer a chocolate-peanut butter concoction like Reese’s or Butterfinger. But, for whatever reason, for the past few months, I just CANNOT GET ENOUGH KIT KATS!!!
Oh yeah, and I went through a Watchamacallit phase when I was younger, too!

[...] I had such high hopes for you, I really did. But grading so many of you really deflates me. And makes me want to eat Kit Kats. [...]
