Nerds
Nerds, which are made by Ferrara Candy Company, a subsidiary of Ferrero Group, were introduced by Sunmark Corporation in 1983.
It is said that the Nerd was named after the Dr. Seuss book 'If I Ran the Zoo' in which a 'nerd' is mentioned as one of the creatures the narrator would collect for his zoo.
Nerds usually come packaged in square carton boxes with two flavours each, each with its own compartment and opening.
Wonka
Wonka, or Willy Wonka Candy Company, is a confectionery company owned by Nestlé that was once owned by Sunmark before 1988. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory inspired the company, and it was launched in 1971 during the release of the first film adaptation. Additionally, these are also the origin of both the Wonka packaging and marketing style.
