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!
 
Eating Happy Plums is the equivalent of dying a thousand deaths. Nay, a million deaths. Keep telling yourself this as your molars crack through the hard gelatinous shell, because at first, Happy Plums don't taste that bad. But this is only to trick you into putting the whole thing in your mouth at once. Because once you actually break through to the spice covered plum... words, for the first time ever, escape me. There is no way to describe the horror of the sweet/sour spicy coating as it smothers you physically and emotionally and drags you, screaming and kicking, into a hellish, fiery pit of excruciating pain and agony, where it slowly flogs and tortures you in the sulphurus recess of your darkest fears for hours on end, before finally leaving you, mangled beyond recognition, to die. And that's not the worst part.
