Treats Or Tricks? Unfortunate Vintage Candy Wrappers

image credit: Thomas Hawk cc

The notion that poison candy is routinely distributed to unsuspecting children on Halloween is a myth perpetrated by advice columnists Dear Abby and Ann Landers in the 1980s and '90s.

But historically, candy meant for young consumers has sported poisonous-sounding, WTF wrappers and packages that most self-respecting 2013 parents would be dismayed to see dumped out of their children’s trick-or-treat bags. Collectors Weekly has a slideshow featuring a number of such gag-worthy examples of unfortunate candy-wrapper branding.
