Definition

  • The package that candy comes in is a large part of its pleasure. From the tale of the five golden tickets in the Wonka chocolate bars in Roald Dahl's iconic novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to the heart-shaped gold and velvet embossed Valentine's Day candy boxes to Cracker Jack toys and comics or baseball cards bundled in with bubble gum, people love candy and the package it comes in.
