My Dad told me about Lucky Bites. He was a kid in the depression:
“Lucky Bites? What are Lucky Bites?”
“Well, they were a candy that the grocer had on displayed in an open box, and you got to chose the one you wanted for your penny. At first they all looked alike, covered in chocolate with a creamy mint center. See, if you picked one that had a white center, that was all you got. But, if you chose one with a pink center, you got 20 cents more worth of mints.”
“Aha – that’s why they were Lucky Bites!”
Dad got pretty good at checking the edges for pink ones!
