we went to a birthday party yesterday and my kids all came home with party favor bags. i discovered one of these discarded boxes laying on the floor last night and was immediately intrigued by this little generic candy packaging. in a world where everything else is bright, colorful, corporately trademarked, easily identifiable and tied in with a mass of other products, this one is just kind of benign.
when i was a kid i loved the old time monsters and this one clearly has the big three - dracula, frankenstein and the wolfman. i guess they are probably up for grabs now in the public domain and most kids today would have no clue who lugosi, karloff and chaney were. still, it was nice to inadvertently step back into a world of memories for a few moments staring at a discarded package.
