CAMPY Campfire Marshmallows XL mascot T shirt 1980s bonfire tee Milwaukee
This is a previously-owned, adult-extra-large (XL), white T-shirt with “Campy / Your Brand Since 1917” printed on the front. It measures approximately 22½ inches (from underarm seam to underarm seam), about 26 inches from back collar to bottom, and is in good shape, though it shows a tad bit of discoloration and some general wear (Screen Stars brand, 100% cotton). Plus, the care-tag is hanging by a thread… literally…
Campfire Marshmallows have been a family favorite since 1917, when the Imperial Candy Co./Redel Candy Corp. of Milwaukee introduced the delicious treats, with packaging that recommended roasting the product over fires. Two years later, Campfire responded to increasing popularity of marshmallows as a baking ingredient by rounding the shape of the marshmallows and increasing the size of the package. Increasingly, marshmallows became an everyday purchase for American families. In 1939, Campfire Marshmallows were part of marshmallow history when Mildred Day and Malitta Jensen of the Campfire Girls used Campfire Marshmallows to create the first Rice Krispies marshmallow treat as part of a fundraiser for the Michigan Campfire Girls council.
