@wdormann Okay but like this is genius. 🧠 💰

I love that they threw in some snacks and...a pack of cigarettes?! 😂

@wdormann @javensbukan hold up... Candy cigarettes still exist? Ones that could reasonably be mistaken for real cigarettes??

As a child I caught the tail end of them in australia, they were just barely identifiable.

@coolandnormal
There's no chance of someone actually mistaking the sticks themselves as a real cigarette. The boxes keep the same design but no longer have the "cigarettes" label and they are most often sold as nostalgia items for those of us born in the 80s and earlier.

My niece and nephew had absolutely no clue what they were and made no connection... You have to know what they were to make the connection.

NGL though... Still one of my favorites candies

EDIT: Speaking as a US resident

@bobkmertz @wdormann @javensbukan I remember getting FADS at my 5th birthday (shout out ScienceWorks), immediately recognising them as cigarettes and all of us kids playing a game of smoking with them.

They were these ones and at 5yo we knew they were cigarette advertising (and loved it).

@bobkmertz @wdormann @javensbukan I would be very surprised if children can't work out they're meant to be cigarettes.

Seems fanciful to imagine they look otherwise tbh.
