Yeah i've recently started out on that little mission and its a slow old process :( 18 years worth of collecting wrappers and packets and all I had to show for it was 8 huge black sacks stuck in the spare room. One day last summer the mrs had enough of them and tipped the lot out on the living room floor, forcing us to crack on and get them done.
Once sorted into Cadbury, Nestle', Mars etc then alphabetically by product name the task seemed a lot less daunting. I just pritt-stick them onto A4 paper and put them in plastic sleeves in ring binders. Everyone who comes round looks through them and although they usually take the mick at first they always become engrossed when the memorys of long since deleted bars come flooding back. It really makes the anorak-ishness worthwhile.
