Candy Bar War
Synopsis:
Do you know about the time that chocolate stopped? The time that KIDS gave up eating candy? Do you believe it?
This is a story about the coolest war in history. A war led by children and inspired by the candy bar. A war that began in the small Vancouver Island town of Ladysmith and travelled across Canada. A war that brought children and parents together in a war against price hikes on candy bars in 1947. A year that saw a group of children band together and boycott the chocolate bar.
