The National Library of Australia discovered one of the oldest boxes of Cadbury chocolates dating back more than a century and it still looks good enough to eat.
Librarians at the NLA found the sweet treats from the personal collection of the famous Australian poet Andrew Barton Banjo Paterson,who wrote Waltzing Matilda and The Man from Snowy River.
The bar was found in a souvenir chocolate tin that was given to soldiers by Queen Victoria during the Boer War (布爾戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)).
According to the librarian Jennifer Todd, "There was quite an interesting smell when they were unwrapped (打開(kāi)),and old tin of chocolates,belonging to Banjo,with the chocolates still wrapped in the box. "AMAZING!The chocolate bar still had the old packaging made of straw and the silver foil (箔) wrapping still around the chocolate."
The tins were asked to make by Queen Victoria to provide consolation (安慰) to the Boer War soldiers during their battles,with "South Africa,1900" and "I wish you a happy New Year,Victoria RI" on the tin.
Cadbury UK created the historical chocolates for British soldiers,as Buckingham Palace (白金漢宮) placed an order for 70,000 to 80,000 pound tins of cocoa that was to be paid out directly from the Queen's own purse.
