1941, Advice for gentlemen...and a little candy history.

1912
Whitman's Sampler® is introduced to the public. The Sampler box includes a collection of the most popular pieces of candy sold in the confectionery shop. Whitman's becomes the first in its industry to use cellophane to wrap its packaged products. Cellophane is imported from France until 1924, when Dupont® started the United States production. For many years, Whitman's is the largest single user of cellophane in America. (Whitman website)

    Perhaps where you are sereno353 but lots of women would love to be gifted with good chocolates, even if they are watching the waistline, secretly they love it when spoiled with Chocolates.

    And, the cellophane is the deal breaker. No nasty waxed paper to stick to the confections. Oh - OH! I am swooning now...
