Valomilk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Originating in 1931, a Valomilk is a liquid marshmallow filled milk chocolate cup manufactured by the Sifers Candy Company. The fifth generation of the Sifers family still uses the original family recipe along with much of the original equipment.
In the late 1950's, Valomilk launched a promotion to celebrate the inclusion of Alaska and Hawaii into the union. Cardboard disks with the names of the capitals of all 50 states of America were placed on top of the candy cups and shipped to stores. Anyone who collected 30 of the disks could send them in to the Valomilk company and receive a tube of 10 free Valomilks. Today, collections of all 50 state capitol disks are a rare find on eBay.
Valomilks are currently the only candy still made by the Sifers company.
