Peter Paul Halajian was a Connecticut candy
seller in the early 1900s. Along with some other Armenian
investors, he formed the Peter Paul Candy Company in 1919.
The company sold various kinds of candies, but
following sugar and coconut shortages of World War II, they dropped
most brands and put all of their efforts on the
Mounds candy bar. The Almond Joy bar was introduced in 1946.
During the 1970s, the Peter Paul company introduced their famous
advertising jingle that contained a play on words, "Sometimes you
feel like a nut; sometimes you don't; Peter Paul Almond Joy's got
nuts; Mounds don't."
Mounds candy bar memories... I remember enjoying Mounds bars
a lot when I was a kid in NYC during the 50's. On Saturday mornings
it almost became a ritual to sit down in front of the Muntz
television and watch Captain Gallant of the Foreign Legion starring
none other than Buster Crabbe, who also played Flash Gordon during
the 1930's.
I also enjoyed picking up the latest Classics
comic and biking down to Riverside Drive where I would find a shady
tree and armed with a Pepsi and a Mounds bar or two, go on mental
adventures while perusing the pages of some historical saga like
Ivanhoe or Moby Dick. With my time running out, those are the quiet
moments I long for and I can almost feel myself drifting...
