I have created this site to: popularize this hobby let anybody browse chocolate wrappers from five continents find new collectors of chocolate wrappers in world to exchange chocolate wrappers and cooperation.

I wish that browsing my site may inspire some visitors to start their own collection of chocolate wrappers. Sites contain basic facts about my collection, about chocolate wrappers, collecting, links to sites of chocolate bars manufacturers , large collection of my scanned wrappers - all are real wrappers from my collection - so you can see chocolate wrappers from entire world. There are about 39 000 chocolate wrappers to browse in Museum section. It is almost 27% of entire collection.	czechoslovakian chocolate wrapper Lidka (1930´s)

My collection

I started my collection of chocolate wrappers in about 1989, when I was nine. I used to collect stamps, but I wanted to collect something really different. Then I received some wonderful Swiss Lindt and Nestlé chocolates whose wrappers were much more beautiful than any Czechoslovakian wrapper at that time. It was Lindt Alba and Pistache and white chocolate Nestlé Galak. I kept those wrappers and from this moment my chocolate collection began. My collection increased slowly over the years, but there was a period between 1993 and 1996 when I didn't bother too much with collecting. I reached 1000 wrappers in 1997 and next year I met other people with similar collecting interests and I got also access to Internet. This was the turning point in my collecting, since then my collection has increased much more quickly. Very first version of my chocolate site was published in December 1999 but there were no chocolate wrappers images, just plain text. First scanned chocolate wrappers were published online about two years later. Website moved to new host in June 2006. My chocolate collection grew almost to 40 000 wrappers when I purchased collection of Petr Vaněček (about 50 000 chocolate wrappers) in May 2006 which included also large chocolate collection of Jan Šimána (about 45 000 chocolate wrappers) and chocolate collection from Poland (about 15 000 chocolate wrappers). It took over three years to join all collection into one and the work is still not done. I would especially like to get wrappers from countries which are still missing in my collection - I think it can be about up to 30 countries now. Most of these countries are from Africa, arabic world, Caribbean area, small american countries and Oceania. I think there are about 160 countries in world where chocolate is (was) produced.

**What is chocolate wrapper and what not**
For me it is the wrapper from a chocolate bar, tablet, slab, napolitain, egg or chocolate candy bar (where chocolate creates important part of product - at least 30% - for example Kit Kat or Mars bar) where is any information about the producer or the product no matter its weight or material. You can see many examples in my MUSEUM. I don´t mind if the wrapper is from "real" chocolate (with cocoa butter and without vegetable fats) or from a chocolate like product without cocoa butter. What is not the chocolate wrapper for me: Chocolate (or fat couverture) coated candy like waffers, müsli bars where chocolate coating is only up to about 30% of weight of candy. I also don't collect wrappers from M & M´s, Smarties (except Smarties in chocolate bars), Lentilky and similar candy and wrappers from chocolate pralines in boxed assortments. For more see WRAPPERS.
