Golden’s People - Where are they now? Jason Pleym by Janet Crandall-Swaffield With notes from Jason Pleym Jason (Jay) Pleym, brother to Jim Pleym (Alpine Rafting) spent much of his early life here in Golden. Golden This Week caught up to Jay while in Fort St. John for a brief chat, where he was checking out a potential new beef supplier. GTW: Tell us about your early experiences here in Golden. JP: As a child, I moved with my family to Golden from Maple Ridge in the summer of 1986. We originally moved to the Horse Creek area, just south of Golden, on Campbell Road. We had so many fun times through the summer as we spent our days outside and mostly down by the river. I started high school at GSS in the fall, going into grade 8. We moved into town at some point in the fall and spent the rest of high school in our duplex on Alexander drive. I can remember working at WhiteTooth ski hill most summers to get our family pass. It was always an easy 10 days playing with power tools and your buddies on the mountain. Hockey was a huge part of my life and I played every year including a couple seasons with the original Golden Rockets Junior team. GTW: At what point did you move on from Golden? Where did you go to school, did you do any traveling? JP: I graduated in 1992 and immediately signed up with forestry and our local initial attack crew. I spent five seasons fighting fires during the summer and doing a little travelling through the winters… Australia, Hong Kong, Central America and Japan. I teamed up with my brother for another five years and joined him on the river with Alpine

Rafting through the summers while working on college through the winter. After semesters at Okanagan College in Kelowna, Mount Royal in Calgary, and Camosun College in Victoria I finally settled into BCIT in Vancouver. I graduated in 2001 with a marketing and entrepreneurship diploma. GTW: Tell us a bit about your career, and how you got your start in the food industry. JP: A couple more years of finding myself and I
took a job with a small food distribution company called Hills Foods. I spent four years working and learning the meat and food industry. During that time I met my wife, Margot Millerd. We were married at the Millerd family farm in July of 2006. Barney Bentall, a long time friend of the Millerd family, wrote a song for us called “where two rivers meet.” Together, we made the decision to leave our jobs, Margot in marketing and me with Hills. We left in the spring of 2007 and moved back to
Golden to live in a school bus down by the river. We worked with my brother at Alpine Rafting, Margot in the office and me on the river. By the end of the summer we had decided on our path, we were going to start our own meat company. We recognized the opportunity to launch a truly new idea, a completely new concept from what was currently happening in the food industry in Vancouver. We moved back to North Vancouver ...

On wartime candy - which came first, M&Ms or Smarties? Janet Crandall-Swaffield Publisher
As Halloween gives way to Remembrance Day, I want to take the opportunity to observe the significance of candy and chocolate, and the role confectionery played in wartime. You may be thinking ‘how is she even thinking about candy, only a few days after Halloween’ ... and you might be right, it’s a bit much. But since I’m surrounded by so much candy - all day, everyday - I can’t help but take notice how one affected the other, and vice versa. I guess I’m that kind of candy nerd, it just doesn’t get old. Wartime can make for a precarious business climate for any industry, but when the main commodities are limited - sugar and cocoa - it can be desparate times for a candy or chocolate business. There’s also packaging materials (think foil) and the absence of skilled labour was often a challenge. It’s the story of how M&Ms came to be that really sparked my interest. How Mars, Jr (creator of the Mars bar) went off to England after clashing with his father, Mars, Sr (creator of The Milky Way bar) and persevered to create a chocolate product in the early 40s that could be easily carried in soldiers pockets, but wouldn’t melt easily in the heat. “Wartime can make To answer my own headline question, for a precarious Smarties came first. “In an age when sales of chocolate typically dropped off business climate for during summer months due to the lack any industry, but when of air conditioning, Mars was thrilled by the prospect of developing a product that the main commodities would be able to resist melting in high are limited - sugar temperatures.� and cocoa - it can be Inspired by the British-made ‘Smarties’ desparate times for or ‘chocolate beans’ (as they were originally referred to as) used successfully a candy or chocolate by soldiers during the Spanish Civil War, business.� Mars set out to make a ‘chocolate for war’ and struck a deal with Bruce Murrie, son of the Hershey’s President at the time. Hershey’s had control of the rationed chocolate in the USA in 1941. What do the M’s stand for? Mars and Murrie of course. During WWII, the candies were sold exclusively to the military, which ultimately led to a huge following once those soldiers returned home. They were hooked! In March of 1941, Mars was granted a patent on this particular manufacturing process, and the original colours were brown, red, orange, yellow, green and purple. Upon conclusion of the war, Mars bought Murrie out and took sole ownership of the brand. The original tube packaging was replaced with the familiar brown bag package that remains in use today, some 67 years later. By 1956, M&Ms had become the No. 1 candy in the USA. Now, you might be thinking this is lots of useless trivia. I suppose it could be, it’s all in how you look at it. Doing business during the war forced companies to be innovative if they were going to survive, sort of like during a recession. And that’s certainly a point that hits home with most of us these days. I think it’s pretty incredible that so many confectionery products that are still widely available today, like M&Ms, were created during wartime. Maybe our life isn’t so different than it was back then. At any rate, on Wednesday morning, November 11th, I’ll be thinking of the many soldiers that carried M&Ms in their pockets to keep themselves going. I think I’ll pick up some M&Ms to have in my pocket...

“As a note of history,
by Garry Irving Special to Golden This Week
November 11 ‌‌That is the day that is set aside to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice so we can enjoy the life we have today. Many have said that the war to end all wars really did not solve anything. But whatever the consequences, Remembrance Day was born at the end of what was known as the First World War. Canadians were obligated to defend the Empire (as the British Empire was known as) in 1914 when England declared war on Germany. Many new Canadians came from the old country (Great Britain) to make a new life for themselves and their families. There was a real connection for them with the old country and thus many volunteered to serve overseas. Prior to WWI, Canadians sent soldiers to South Africa during the Boer War, at the beginning of the 20th Century. As a note of history, Lord Strathcona used his own funds to raise cavalry troops for the conflict including horse riding farm boys from the Golden area. The Lord Strathcona Horse is today an armoured regiment in the Canadian Army and stands ready and able to defend the rights of Canadians. I mentioned earlier that Canadians were obligated to go to the defence of Great Britain in the war of 1914-1918. When WWII began the nation did not declare war until September 10, 1939 a few days after Britain who declared war on September 3. The delay was to show Britain that we would make our own decision on our own time. Canadians also answered the call when North Korea invaded South Korea in the
Lord Strathcona used his own funds to raise cavalry troops for the conflict including horse riding farm boys from the Golden area. The Lord Strathcona Horse is today an armoured regiment in the Canadian Army and stands ready and able to defend the rights of Canadians.� Today, those left that remember the Second World War are becoming less and less. My mother is still alive in Vancouver. She was not only a war bride of a Canadian but served in the Women’s Royal Air Force. She does not speak much about the war except to tell me how she helped to fill barrage balloons that flew over London during the blitz. She also talked of how she was always put in the middle of a parade formation as she could not march in a straight line. Today we often drive or walk by a Cenotaph without giving it a second glance. However, every November 11, there are those who do not forget and respect the minute of silence for our service people and the local ceremonies. This November 11 please remember that it is more than a day off‌.. it is a day to give thanks for all we have and give thanks for those now serving who do so to protect us from such as we see happening today all over the world. It is a tradition built around the actual end of the First World War which ended on the 11th day of the 11th month on the 11th hour‌. November 11, 1918 at 11am.

Ice Cream for Breakfast: Taming the wild by Sarah Elizabeth Special to Golden This Week
considering and what parenting is really all about. I was considering, with my fantasy, letting her grow up with minimal guidance, including not learning how to use forks and knives or a bathroom let alone a potty. When I think about the crazy ideas I have to talk my daughter out of on a regular basis and explain why we do not do them - for example, using Mommy’s hair as a snot rag - I realize parenting truly is about teaching the “wild” how to be civilized. In some cases, it’s not just the tots and kids who have to learn this, but also the parents too. Since parenthood is a 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week job that slaps you in the face as soon as morning-noon-andnight sickness kicks in, and you realize your life is not just yours anymore, it comes with a learning curve. (The same goes for Dads too, as soon as they realize there are two lines on the pee stick.) How do you tame the wild anyway? When it comes to disciplining, my partner and I do what we can to help our daughter with where she is at as a two year old and sometimes I think we only do it out of respect for society at large. I would opt for the jungle experience in a heartbeat. My daughter is two. A two year old is going to be a two year old and they are wild. Therefore, I have to get down to her wild level in order to help her understand why we don’t pull the cats tail. Yelling at her and pulling her tail in order to teach her the “lesson” will not do the job of disciplining. Repetition in explaining the emotions of cats and people in various ways and by using various relational experiences as examples may help, while I keep my fingers crossed in hopes she is not a sociopath. That’s the best I can do with what I have so far.
At some point between wiping a poopy bum in the early days of parenting and recently cleaning vomit out of my hair, I started to fantasize about how child rearing would be much easier if I was living on a beach somewhere in the tropics. There are reasons to believe a slightly more primitive lifestyle would make parenting easier. The idea of sitting on a beach basking in the sun with the sounds of the ocean nearby while my child runs around wild without a care in the world sounds amazing and makes sense to me. I believe the elements and natural wonders that embody the beach would eliminate many stress factors.
“The sand would catch her fall when she tumbles or trips, therefore bruising would be minimal. What toddler wouldn’t love a giant sandbox full of undiscovered treasures as their backyard?” The sand would catch her fall when she tumbles or trips, therefore bruising would be minimal. What toddler wouldn’t love a giant sandbox full of undiscovered treasures as their backyard? Countless shells and pebbles to be found. The odd dead fish would surely lead to unforgettable life lessons on bad smells, the skeletal system and death. The fresh air and sunshine would tire her by nightfall and we wouldn’t necessarily have to drive her anywhere to tire her out. Therefore I wouldn’t have to spend hours reminding her how “everyone who drives in a car wears a car seat and has to buckle up,” and how “none of us get to crawl around the moving vehicle dangerously unbuckled,” and empathize about how “it really isn’t fun for any of us to have to sit in our car seats, but it sure is fun when we reach our destination.” (Especially if it’s a beach.) No, the safe fun of a sand-filled back yard would be perfect for running, falling, kicking up “dirt” and discoveries of all kinds. We wouldn’t have to drive anywhere else to find that kind of fun. I would feed her fruit from a nearby jungle. I wouldn’t have to cook! This would eliminate meal planning, writing lists, grocery shopping and the inevitable - forgetting something at the store. Everything would be provided for us by the trees and the bushes and what there is, would be what we get. There would not be a need to be picky,
“Yelling at her and pulling her tail in order to teach her the “lesson” will not do the job of disciplining.”
My daughter is two. A two year old is going to be a two year old and they are wild. Photo submitted by Sarah Elizabeth. everything would be juicy and delicious. She would drink from half coconut shells that I would throw away after use and there would be no use for forks and knives or sippy cups. Therefore, Mama would have no dishes or food spills to clean. Woo hoo! That sounds like a pretty good deal to me. There would be no use for potties or diapers, as there would be many trees for that. Most importantly there would be lots of naked time,
meaning less laundry - a lot less laundry. Even I wouldn’t have to worry about always wearing clothes - especially overpriced jeans that ended up with a gigantic hole in them a year after purchasing. I definitely wouldn’t have to worry too much about self-grooming. Sun-kissed skin and salt infused hair wears well on pretty much everyone. After contemplating this idea for the last two years I finally realized what I was really
Our kids are people who don’t know anything unless we help them know stuff in rational, respectful and reasonable ways. They need us to help them understand the world because if we don’t help them, then television will, or worse, their potentially misguided friends. Sure, they will challenge us along the way. For that, there is chocolate and getting out of the house once and a while to free your own wild soul by dancing or joining something to connect with other grownups – that’s if you still know how to socialize. When all efforts to contain your own - or your child’s - wildness have failed, find a beach, but don’t forget the sunscreen. And I’m pretty sure you’ll need a tool of some sort for the coconuts.

History Column - We dodged a bullet in the ‘40s - Part 2
by Duane Crandall Special to Golden This Week
I ended Part 1 by asking what happened to the park and then said I would tell you next week, which is this week. But I partly gave it away in printing the copy of the letter that MLA Tom King wrote in support of changing the park from Class A to Class B. I had not been clear enough to Janet when I gave her the graphics last week that the map was for last week and King’s letter was for this week. So you had a little jump on what happened. So what did happen? Well, as we sometimes say, life got in the way. While B.C. had been busy putting this deal together and creating its park, the federal government had also been busy — fighting World War II. A road into B.C. which would further tax the federal treasury was not high on Prime Minister Mackenzie King’s list of priorities. In fact, it probably wasn’t even on the list. The feds never even responded. In fact, they probably hadn’t even had time to respond by the time things started to fall apart politically within the province itself for Hamber Park. Pattullo had created Hamber on September
16, 1941, but the political knives were just as sharp then as they are now, and on December 3, less than three months later, Pattullo was sacked as premier by his own government and then on December 7, four days later, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. That created a whole new set of war concerns for the federal government because of possible similar attacks on Canada’s west coast. When the war ended in 1945 and with Pattullo, Hamber’s chief architect, gone as premier and gone as MLA as well in October of that year (he lost his seat in the October 25, 1945 provincial election) there was nobody supporting the park. In addition, loggers and sawmillers in Golden and Revelstoke were undoubtedly after MLA Tom King for access to the huge swaths of timber in the park. King went to bat for them by writing to the Minister of Forests asking that the park be changed from Class A, which did not allow logging, to a Class B Park, which did. The change was made later that year. The park remained a park for about the next twenty-five years, until 1961 when the B.C. government wiped out 98 percent of it. What remains of Hamber Park now is adjacent to the Alberta border and Jasper National Park, much closer to the town of Jasper than it is to Golden. There are no roads into Hamber. It is mainly a fly-in park with the main attraction being Fortress Lake. So what is the bottom line in all of this? How would Golden be different if the feds had agreed to British Columbia’s request? I believe it is safe to say that all of the things which were listed in the beginning of this article would have come to pass. Instead of Golden being a town with a strong forest industry, it would be a small version of Banff or Canmore, with primarily only a tourism economy. That, of course, is not bad, just different. And probably much smaller. Probably no Selkirk Heights, Mount
Seven or Pine Drive subdivisions. No Deer Ridge or Canyon Ridge developments. Probably no ski hill because we would have been afraid to take on the $800,000 debt that we did to establish it in 1986, and certainly not our current arena. The rural area would have far fewer homesites and the current population, instead of 8,000 people in the valley would probably be about half and that might be stretching it. And think about this: many of us who live here now wouldn’t be here because there wouldn’t have been a job here for us to come to. So how is it that the non-creation of Hamber National Park has never appeared on most of our radars? We can’t expect the young people to know, but those who have lived here all their lives, or even those like me, who have been here for forty years or more might expect to have at least heard about it. And maybe I am wrong, maybe there are those who know the whole story, but I know that I didn’t. I have never heard anyone talk about this in all the years I have been here. I think it’s a story that has simply fallen through the cracks. I find it interesting that our area could have been so different than it is now, and only because the federal government didn’t take B.C. up on a proposal that probably seemed pretty rational at the time from the federal side. Especially since it had been done before, just down the road with the creation of Kootenay National Park. From the provincial side it seems ludicrous, trading all that land for just the maintenance of the Big Bend Highway. It was certainly a very stupid deal when we consider what the years since 1941 have meant to the Golden area. We did lose the use of the land under the present Kinbasket Lake anyway because of Mica Dam, but we would have lost much more had Hamber Provincial Park become Hamber National Park. Oh, that reminds me, remember I mentioned
last week that Canfor has announced the closure of the mill at Canal Flats? One of the major reasons for closing that mill is the lack of economically viable timber. So from that here is a question. If Kootenay National Park had never happened, if B.C. hadn’t traded all that land away for one measly road, would they have needed to close the mill at Canal Flats? Probably not. And, of course, the question there doesn’t only have to do with Kootenay Park. Another large block of timber that has been lost to the forest industry in that area is what is now in the Purcell Wilderness Conservancy. It’s interesting how the decision that was made in 1920 took 95 years to play out in the case of Canal Flats, but it eventually did. And if Hamber Park had become a national park in 1941, you can be sure it would have played out a lot sooner than 95 years. The Sigalet mill probably would not have been here in the ’50’s. Kicking Horse Forest Products, Evans Products and now Louisiana Pacific certainly would not ever have been here. And to think, that few if any of us, have been aware of it through the years. I saw a quotation on an office wall last week. It said: “The dead don’t know that they are dead. They only cause difficulties for those they have left behind.” It strikes me that it is almost as if we were dead to the knowledge of Hamber Park, since few, if any, of us knew about it. We had no idea how one decision in Ottawa might have made our area so different. And what was it all about? Not about a park, that’s for sure. It was clearly a case of our provincial government creating a park because Pattullo thought it was the best way to get a free road. I think it is good that Hamber all but disappeared. Maybe it is as Trudeau I once said, perhaps ‘the universe did unfold as it should.’

The Metropolitan Opera Live at Golden Cinema
Signature Clothing would like to invite you to their
‘16th’ Annual
by Ellen Hatlevik Special to Golden This Week
Love, romance, betrayal, magic, tragedy and redemption – just another day at the opera! Golden Cinema offered the 3rd program in this year’s Metropolitan Opera season and it was an epic performance. Richard Wagner’s Tannhauser, a story of a young knight caught between love and passion, is rich in characters, plots, harmonies and lyrics. The supporting chorus was powerful and diverse.
“The Golden Cinema is
considered the smallest community in Canada to bring Live Broadcast performances for opera and ballet. Opera-goers come from as far away as Invermere and Brisco, and are enthusiastic about the live feed, especially the behind-the-scenes action before and after each Act.” Masterfully conducted by James Levine (from his wheelchair!), the haunting music of the prelude set the stage for Act 1. In true opera style, the handsome knight, Tannhauser, leaves Venus the goddess of love, to return to the human world, leaving her with a broken heart. He finds himself transported back to the valley he’d left for other-worldly pleasures of Venus, and is embraced by the friends he’d left because of his arrogance. The introduction to Act II is a jubilant score, setting the stage for a joyful, emotional reunion of Tannhauser and his princess, Elizabeth. A competition of singers on the meaning of true
LADIES NIGHT love ends in disaster for the knight who extols the virtues of Venus. The knight is banished and sent to join a band of pilgrims on their way to Rome to do penance. The Act is a visual spectacle of pomp and ceremony, majesty and textures, with extravagantly jewelled costumes. Act III once again opens with a poignant melody that evokes the feeling of anguish for the knight and his heart-broken princess. The interplay of music and lyrics arouses an emotional response in the viewer, and although the Act ended with the deaths of both Tannhauser and Elisabeth, it was truly the only way the story could have ended. The Golden Cinema is considered the smallest community in Canada to bring Live Broadcast performances for opera and ballet. Operagoers come from as far away as Invermere and Brisco, and are enthusiastic about the live feed, especially the behind-the-scenes action before and after each Act. Interviews with the cast, stage managers, costume directors provide fascinating background that one wouldn’t get at the live performance. For those of you who have yet to attend, one of these magnificent, dramatic musical classics will offer you an unforgettable experience. The next show, live from the Metropolitan Opera in New York, is Bizet’s “The Pearl Fishers”, on January 16, 2016. See you there! Thank you, Stuart and Trish, for providing the Golden Area with these superb musical treasures.

It’s a Brighter Life - What I didn’t know about my money till I asked By Paul Moser, BrighterLife.ca Having a chat with a financial advisor about your money situation can bring great news, including the discovery that your finances aren’t so bad after all. That’s what happened to me. I had thought my financial situation was a disaster and had started to see Lotto 6/49 as my retirement income plan. My wife and I knew we were spending too much, but we couldn’t seem to develop a savings strategy. We decided it was time to find an advisor who would talk to us regularly, create a plan and show us the “big picture.� A new view of our finances Victor Grieco is an advisor who lives a few blocks from my home. We would exchange pleasantries as my daughter, my wife and I passed his office on our way to treating ourselves to an ice cream. Vic never asked us to come to him for financial advice. We liked his gentlemanly style and finally asked him to help us. Vic collected everything related to our finances: insurance policies, pension and RRSP statements, mortgage payments, car payments and savings account balances (that was easy — we didn’t have any). He also asked us to use his budget template to track all our income and expenses. After compiling and analyzing this information, Vic gave us a binder with more than 100 pages of numbers, summaries and recommendations. He called it a “living document� that he would work with us to update frequently. )FSF T XIBU * MFBSOFE GSPN UIJT QSPDFTT We have lots of room for improvement Creating a budget was a great idea, proving what I’ve been told so many times. We could

clearly see where we were spending too much, and where we could easily make some minor sacrifices for major savings. For example, instead of a late-night trip to a local restaurant to watch a hockey game I don’t really care about, drink a beer I don’t think is worth the price and have a snack I don’t need, I plan to pick up one of the many books on my reading list. 0VS EFCU JT NBOBHFBCMF At my current age of 52, I’m worried about taking mortgage debt into retirement, if I retire at the traditional 65. We found a way to make progress by setting up separate accounts in our credit line-mortgage: one to pay down the principal and regular bills and another that limits us to a set, monthly spending amount. National Bank of Canada and other financial institutions offer this method of paying your mortgage and other bills. 3FUJSJOH DPNGPSUBCMZ JT QPTTJCMF With some changes to our spending habits, I could retire in my mid-60s, if I choose to, and be able to cover our expenses. My wife put our debit and credit cards away, so that now we’re relying only on our monthly allowance. No more impulse
buying! We’re also reviewing our expenses to see if we really need everything we’re currently paying for every month. Do we really need satellite TV, now that we subscribe to Netflix and can still rent movies that aren’t on that service? Is it time to get rid of our telephone land line, since we hardly ever use it? Just cancelling those two non-necessities would put almost $1,500 back into our pockets over one year — money that could go into an RRSP. 5IFSF XBT FYDJUJOH OFXT Vic discovered over $50,000 in a pension to which I had contributed during a previous job, which I didn’t know I had. Hard to believe, perhaps, but true. (I’ve never claimed to be a financial genius.) I wouldn’t ever guarantee that talking to an advisor could lead to a surprise like the one we received. But seeing your overall financial situation and making a plan is definitely worth the time it takes to gather statements, create a budget and attend a few meetings. My wife and I have a new perspective on our finances. We’re looking forward to working with Vic. And now I walk right past the lottery kiosks!

The origins of M&Ms, and other wartime candy by Janet Crandall-Swaffield 1VCMJTIFS t (PMEFO 5IJT 8FFL With Remembrance Day upon us, I thought I would look closer into some of the candy and chocolate products of the day. I was surprised by what I found. Following are some excerpts of articles written about confectionery products that originated, or were significantly affected during the wartime years of 1930s and 40s. “It may not surprise you to learn that many amazing discoveries and inventions are spawned from war, but did you know the hugely popular M&M candies beloved by kids and adults of all ages around the world are one such innovation? After clashing with his father—the creator of the Milky Way bar—for a few years at Mars Inc., Forrest Mars Sr. moved to England, where in 1932 he began manufacturing the Mars bar for troops in the United Kingdom. It was during the Spanish Civil War that Mars purportedly encountered soldiers eating small chocolate beads encased in a hard sugar shell as part of their rations. In an age when sales of chocolate typically dropped off during summer months due to the lack of air conditioning, Forrest was thrilled by the prospect of developing a product that would be able to resist melting in high temperatures. He returned to the United States and, shortly thereafter, approached Bruce Murrie, the son of Hershey executive William Murrie, to join him in his new business venture. Anticipating a shortage of chocolate and sugar as World War II raged on in Europe, Mars sought a partnership that would ensure a steady supply of resources to produce his new candy. In return, Murrie was given a 20 percent stake in the M&M product, which was named to represent ‘Mars’ and ‘Murrie.’ In March of 1941, Mars was granted a patent for his manufacturing process and production began in Newark, New Jersey. Originally sold in cardboard tubes, M&M’s were covered with a brown, red, orange, yellow, green or violet coating. After the United States entered the war, the candies were exclusively sold to the military, enabling the heat-resistant and easy-to-transport chocolate to be included in American soldiers’ rations. By the time the war was over and GIs returned home, they were hooked. Shortly after wartime quotas ended and the candies were made available to the general public, Forrest Mars bought out Murrie’s shares in the company and took sole ownership of the M&M brand. The familiar brown bag package that remains in use today was introduced in 1948. In
1950, the candies were imprinted with a black “m� (which changed to white in 1954) and customers were encouraged to “Look for the M on every piece� to ensure they were getting the real thing. Peanut M&M’s made their debut in 1954, along with the cartoon characters Mr. Plain and Mr. Peanut, and by 1956 M&M’s had become the No. 1 candy in the United States. In 1964, Forrest merged his various businesses (which by then included pet food and rice, among other products) with his father’s company, Mars Inc., and soon began to phase out external chocolate suppliers like Hershey’s. Upon request by the crew aboard NASA’s first space shuttle, Columbia, M&M’s were the first candy to rocket into space in 1981. Three years later, they were advertised as the Official Snack of the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. Today, the crowd-pleasing and satisfying candies continue to sweeten a soldier’s day as a welcome part of their individual Meal, Ready to Eat (MRE) field ration.� - by Laura Shumm, www.History.com
Life Savers candy - The Candy Mint with the Hole - was first created in 1912 by a Cleveland, Ohio candy maker. Marketed as Pep-O-Mint Life Savers, the mints were packaged in tin foil to
prevent them from going stale, a process done by hand until 1919, when a machine was developed to streamline the process. Manufacturing then moved to New York. In 1921, fruit flavours were developed - orange, lemon and lime, each flavour packaged separately. Due to rising popularity, four new flavours were developed - anise, butter rum, cola and root beer. In 1925, the tinfoil was replaced with aluminum foil. The same year saw new technology come available to allow a hole in the centre of the candies. In 1931, pineapple and cherry were introduced, also packaged separately by flavour. In 1935, the classic ‘Five-Flavor’ rolls were introduced, offering a selection of five different flavours (pineapple, lime, orange, cherry and lemon) in each roll. This flavour lineup remained unchanged for nearly 70 years. In 2003, three of the flavours were replaced in the United States (making the rolls pineapple, cherry, raspberry, watermelon and blackberry). Orange was subsequently reintroduced and blackberry was dropped. In Canada however, the original five-flavour lineup is still sold. In the late 30s and 40s, four new mint flavours were introduced: Molas-O-Mint, Spear-O-Mint, Choc-O-Mint and Stik-O-Pep, only one of which remains on the market today. During WWII, other candy manufacturers donated their sugar rations to keep Life Savers in production so that the little candies could be shared with Armed Forces as a tasty reminder of life at home, and could be easily carried in a soldier’s pocket. In 2002, production of Life Savers was moved to Montreal, due to significantly lower sugar prices in Canada. In 2004, Wrigley’s acquired the Life Savers brand, and introduced two new mint flavours for the first time since the end of WWII Orange Mint and Sweet mint.
+VJDZ 'SVJU (VN Made by Wrigley, Juicy Fruit Gum was first introduced in 1893. The flavouring is kept a mystery, but is often thought to be a combination of banana and pineapple. Peach is also considered to be a contributing flavour. The average age of the typical Juicy Fruit consumer is under 20, with 3- to 11-year-olds making up the heart of the business; those 20 years old and over account for 40 per cent of the purchases. During WWII, Juicy Fruit was taken off of the civilian market temporarily because of ingredient shortages and the demand for the gum to be included in C-rations. When the gum was reintroduced to the general public after WWII ended, the well-known striped packaging was replaced by one with a bright yellow background. The bright yellow background remains a constant today, and highly recognizable on the candy shelf among its gum counterparts.
