This card is a pleasant end to the week. And it reinforces the fact that good hygiene should start young, as well as being much more fun, and more memorable, when taught in little groups.
I am delighted to be able to have this, as we featured a very similar set by Chocolat Menier of France in our newsletter for the 21st of December 2024 - on that day, Saturday the 21st of December. However we said at the time that whilst there were similarities, there were also major differences, not only that the Chocolat Menier set has more cards, we showed card 103, whilst ours is of a hundred only. And though it is certain that the artwork was either supplied by the Disney Studio, or both sets were drawn by the same artist, the pictures are different in both sets. They are also very similar to sets issued by Cadum and Palmolive.
We also know that our set was issued with Snow White Cookies, in a variety of flavours, including “Heigh-Ho nuts”, orange, vanilla, raspberry and cocoa, raspberry cream, and even avocado. Not sure I like the sound of that. And there were also Snow White chocolates.
Another thing we know is that the backs do differ, with several brands being mentioned. We believe that the brand on the back was the brand in which that card was distributed, which seems to suggest that you had to buy a lot of product to get a complete set. You can also get it with two lines at the bottom, and in both French (as "Blanche Neige et les Sept Nains") and Dutch (as "Sneeuwwitjen en de Zeven Kabouters")
And if that were not enough, they also offered jigsaw puzzles, which may not seem to have anything to do with cartophily, but they use the picture from off the album cover.
