If you were a child growing up in Colombia in the last sixty years you probably own a series of Jet Albums, created by the national chocolate company CompañÃa Nacional de Chocolates. The illustrated stickers that wrap the small chocolate bar have traditionally illustrated one theme, such as the collectorâs edition of the country’s plant and animal wildlife.
While pasting the stickers in the Jet Album is a popular pastime for children, each image is also educational, presenting interesting facts compiled by botanists, biologists, astronomers and historians. So with every bite there’s a chance to learn something newâ¦adults included.
