The story of Briefcase Bonbons

Briefcase Bonbons let any kid walk into the cafeteria like a big-shot executive. The little gray case clicked open with two gold latches, revealing rows of chocolate bonbons in gold foil. The combination was printed on the bottom, so the security was purely for show. After the chocolate, it became the official case for baseball cards.

Fun fact

Kids carried them to school with a necktie borrowed from Dad, then claimed they had a very important meeting at recess.
