I stumbled across Lesser Evil "lump of coal" in the supermarket today
on Christmas clearance.  Website www.lesserevil.com.  Unfortunately
the kind I bought must be seasonal because it isn't listed on the
website.  It is chocolate-covered popcorn, but the company really has
a sense of humor.  The box has things like:
Talk to us!
New School--email address
Old School--phone number
Dark Ages--snail mail address
Or visit us at--website

It also says "high in moral fiber".

It's a stocking stuffer for people who have been naughty or nice (pick
one).  One paragraph on the package says:

"You have been NAUGHTY! Don't try to deny it, you little devil.  We
saw the stunt you pulled in the backyard--teasing the neighbor's dog
with a fully choreographed performance of your favorite show tune. And
when you caused a major potato avalanche in the grocery store, then
pretending it wasn't you?  Come on partner!  We're hoping this low-fat
all natural treat will start to make up for the five glasses of eggnog
you sucked down at the last holiday party.  Naughty, naughty.

Next paragraph:
You have been NICE!  Is it possible for someone to be as nice you? 
etc. etc. You deserve this treat.  (Not as funny as the naughty one).  

Maybe packaging really is everything.  They put so much effort into
the box design that I had to check it out.  I think it is the funniest
thing I've ever bought at the supermarket.
