Psssst, pass the Milk Duds

Have you guys ever seen these? In 1971, Milk Duds offered cards on their boxes. So in addition to a wonderful chocolatey caramel snack, you also scored a baseball card. Why don't companies do this now?

When I saw these, I needed to have them. I was able to win a Listia lot for these two cards. The Johnson is for trade if anyone is interested.

  2. Food companies don't do this any more because of all the licensing hassle

  3. Well in Japan a potato chip company called Calbee releases a baseball set every year (known as Calbee Cards by collectors) where you get two cards with every bag of potato chips you buy. I can only imagine how great and terrible such a product would be over here in the states.

  4. I have always wanted to add more food cards to my Yankees collection. Those are pretty sweet.
