Mr Bones Puzzle Candy 1977 Pillows
Description: Mr. Bones Puzzle Candy was the brainchild of a man named Vero Ricci, who, after designing those little plastic garbage cans filled with candy, he turned his attention to something a little more morbid, a plastic coffin. Produced in a variety of colors, each box contained an assortment of candy pieces that were shaped like various human bones. These pieces interlocked like a jigsaw puzzle, and if you had all fifteen, you could create Mr. Bones, the namesake of this confection, but not every coffin contained all of the pieces. The candy was pretty forgettable - just your typical dextrose-based, fruit-flavored pressed powder - so nobody was buying Mr. Bones because they loved the taste or anything - it was all about that little coffin.
