I can't stop reading it, and yes, I am stifling my outbursts of laughter at work.
The most obvious clue the wrapper provides is a small, crudely drawn train (go ahead, say it out loud; we know you want to: "chaca chaca, chaca chaca, chaca chaca, choooo choooo!"), hauling what looks to be a load of coal. Well, there you have it. Any candy that is going to go and associate itself in any way with coal is a candy that you do NOT want to eat. BUT! we can dig much deeper than that. Look closely, and you'll notice that this train is the #13, the universally recognized unlucky number. The #13 is running on the "N de M" Railroad, which can only stand for "Norte de Muerto" or "North of Dead." Put this all together, and what have you got? The makers of Chaca Chaca are clearly trying to warn you that Chaca Chaca is brought to them in lumpy loads on the RAILROAD FROM HELL!
