Pretty sure we saw this here in Texas, to which I'd suggest, "KNOW YOUR MARKET, CANDYMAKERS!"
One of the worst ideas for candy, ever...
Travel tip: if you find yourself in coral snake country, remember this rhyme:
Red and black, friend of Jack;
Red and yellow, kills a fellow.
It refers to the positions of the colored rings on a snake, ie: red-next-to-black versus red-next-to-yellow.
Notice on the atrocious gummy candy above that the red and yellow rings touch. That's how they are on a coral snake, which is poisonous ("kills a fellow").
There's at least one other snake that looks a lot like a coral, but the red and black rings touch. From what I understand (from Dave, who HATES snakes), the red-touching-black snake is not poisonous ("friend of Jack").
Found this photo on my phone today, so thought I'd share.
**UPDATE** The red-touching-black (benign) snake is called a Mexican milk snake. Thanks, Julie!
