I think I remember these. They were a low quality chocolate stick wrapped in paper. I didn't like them. I think I got that they were preying on kid's desire to ape adult behaviours but I may be conflating a decade of memories.

I think you're thinking of a different product - these were white candy sticks made from corn starch and sugar/syrup. Your comment on the behavior is dead on, though!

Maybe so. I don't remember the packaging half as clearly as I do the crappy chocolate.
