Former X-Men editor Jason Liebig has amassed one of the world's largest collections of candy wrappers and boxes. He's got thousands of them, including a Kit-Kat wrapper from World War II, when they couldn't make milk chocolate due to rationing.

Nice quote from the end:

“This is still a strange person’s hobby,” he adds. “Let it be weird. I’m like what a comic book collector was in 1969—it’s a weird guy who wanted to save things.”

I admire this idea. These are ephemeral pop culture artefacts and are worthy of being collected.
