French Chocolate Postage Stamps A Pure Delight To Your Senses!
La Poste, the French Post Office, issued a limited edition set of postage stamps on May 25, 2009. These stamps were issued to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the arrival of cocoa beans at the City of Bayonne in France in 1609. These stamps show scenes that depict France’s fascinating manufacturing history of chocolate.
Besides the fact that the design of the stamps are superb; they have an added delightful feature. The stamps sport the wonderful aroma of dark French chocolate! It is reported that the scent is expected to last for 2 years. These postage stamps look so much like the real thing that you will certainly be tempted to take a bite! These stamps have been such hot sellers in France that some post offices have experienced lines running outside of post offices with people scrambling to get their hands on these treats. La Poste even built a temporary post office to launch these postage stamps. There are ten stamps in the set with different noteworthy scenes shown.
The good news is that there is no need to travel all the way to France to pick up these deliciously smelling French chocolate postage stamps. Stamp Center has them in stock and ready to ship out to you. They make a fun addition to any collection! Warning…they don’t actually taste like chocolate! Come on America, we need some chocolate stamps too!
These are really great but when I lick them to stick them to my envelopes I can’t seem to stop licking them!
