I used to work at this place that had a kooky international market down the street, and during lunch folks would go down and get things there. They had this international candy section and it had some of the weirdest shit...bins of candies in strange wrappers, many odd flavors. You could take a bag and just pour different candies into it and buy whatever you chose by weight. These candies would make people who hated you become your friend. It was fun watching the girls eyeing the chocolate candies and worrying about the Chocolate Effect.
My favorite was a candy called "South Night"...had a picture of a quiet island at night, a tranquil ocean, the moon. All printed on a foil wrapper. Inside the wrapper was a dark chocolate-covered rectangle of marshmallow with like a cherry jelly layer.
It wasn't very amazing but it was weird and I liked the wrapper...every time I looked at it, I imagined Butt-Head from Beavis and Butt-Head saying, "Huh huh huh huh...South Night!! Huh huh." I don't know why. This was the only thing I could think of.
