These sticks, frequently adorned with colorful cellophane frills or small flags, served both a practical and aesthetic purpose in food presentation. After World War II, there was a significant shift in social dining and entertaining. As people began hosting more casual gatherings and parties, the need for convenient and attractive food presentation methods grew. Sandwich sticks with labels became a popular solution, offering a way to serve finger foods neatly and stylishly.~ In the 1950s and 1960s, cocktail parties became a staple of social life. Sandwich sticks, often used for canapés and hors d'oeuvres, added a touch of elegance and whimsy to the presentation. The sticks made it easy for guests to pick up and enjoy small bites without needing utensils. Businesses and events began using labeled sandwich sticks as a form of branding and advertising. Restaurants, cafes, and catering companies would customize the labels with their logos or messages, making them a subtle yet effective marketing tool.
