WrapperRhymes
A project collecting original poems handwritten on confectionery wrappers and other food packaging, inspired by Ted Hughes, who wrote a poem on a Tunnock's wrapper in 1986. The Tumblr collection has sadly disappeared after technical problems, but the poems will hopefully be retrieved and republished in due course. In the meantime, British Lion and Yorkshire Tea are representative examples.
