Description: From the 1996 press release:The crews of the Starship Enterprise enjoyed chocolate in space, and now, with the recent release of Paramount Pictures’ “Star Trek: First Contact,” Earthlings have a new “collectible” limited-edition chocolate bar from Leaf Inc. Under license from Viacom Consumer Products, Paramount’s licensing division, “Star Trek: First Contact” Chocolate Bars feature six collectible wrappers using graphics on seven different molded Star Trek chocolate images, including a top view of the new Starship Enterprise, NCC-1701-E. “The ‘Star Trek: First Contact’ molded chocolate bars will offer the `Star Trek’ fan a unique and innovative collectible,” said Greg Barratt, senior vice president of marketing for Leaf. “Our intention from the beginning was to give the Star Trek fan the highest level of quality in our chocolate, packaging graphics and collectibility. We feel the Star Trek fans and our friends at Paramount deserve nothing less,” he said. The candy bar is Leaf’s first venture into “collectible” confections, and sales have far exceeded Leaf’s — and Viacom’s — expectations, according to Nancy Williams, public-relations counsel for the candy company.“We thought it would be a medium-sized promotion,” she said. “But it’s a strange phenomenon, the whole trekkie thing. They (the trekkers) love it. “After eating the candy, they can use the wrapper like a trading card. We’ll sell as many as we can make. Now we’re waiting to see if it’ll still be as popular when the movie leaves theaters,” she added.
