Still not the pictures we used to get in the olden days. I bet they don't make them any more; everyone probably wants to buy Milk Tray, Black Magic or Terrys Gold. 

You are all so good to be checking this out for me.

Time and again allot of our comments for our POE pictures are that they are 'chocolate box' pictures. 

I remember from my younger days, those big chocolate boxes with such beautiful scenes of England.

Now I have lived in America for 21 years, I am wondering if they still sell these beautifully adorned chocolate boxes?  


We (Belgians) never use those beautiful pictures. The chocolate should make you drool

Biscuit tins with a hidden message ? This famous biscuit tin image from Huntley & Palmers never fails to amuse those with a school boy mind.

Possibly a disgruntled customer told him that the Vicar had been shocked by the outrageous illustration on the biscuit tin
