Wow I was just an habitual collector from old radios, art and marbles to stamps, rocks and trinkets. I came by it naturally as mom was a collector of sorts as well. We always were having to pick up rocks for her gardens, rock gardens. I also collected coins and candy. I would buy Life Savers too and had a cigar box full of them. I didn't like to open the wrappers since they were so fun to collect so I just wouldn't eat the candy inside, they were only a nickel a roll. When I went on my mission I had left them in the box on a shelf in my room and after returning was cleaning out my stuff when I was getting ready to be married and move away when I found the box. I knew what was in it but couldn't believe haw light it had gotten. I couldn't understand how even when the candy would sugar over time that it could get lighter. Well it wasn't due to the chemical change but rather the ease which it provided the ants to go in a make a small hole in the wrapper and then carry away the sugar granules. Every single wrapper was empty and so I did something pretty dumb for a collector and threw them away. I now wish I had them even tough I could repeat the process and get more I would not have the wrapper from the era of the 60's in which they were made.
