With its classic yellow box featuring cross-stitched edges, the Whitman’s Sampler has been giving the impression that it’s been around, well forever — but it’s this year that it actually turns 100.
“The original 1912 package had an aged, yet ageless look suggesting the box had been around for 100 years, giving first-time buyers a sense of confidence in their gift choice,” says Russell Stover Candy Co., owner of the brand.
