You never know what you're gonna get.
Except you kind of do know don't you?
shareYes cos there's a card inside or on the back telling you!
shareYeah or it says right on the box. Turtles... With pecans.

If it's the Whizzo Quality Assortment, it'll contain:
‘Cherry Fondue’,
‘Crunchy Frog’,
‘Cockroach Cluster’, and
‘Spring Surprise’
When you pop the latter into your mouth, steel bolts spring out and plunge straight through both cheeks.👍
Look for the Whizzo Quality Assortment at your local sweet merchant ~ the box bearing a large red label: “Warning: Lark’s Vomit”
Back in the 40s and 50s they didn't actually label boxes of chocolates so you really didn't know what you were going to get.
shareAlso, there still at least one national brand that doesn't used a preformed plastic holder, but has the chocolates in foil cups that skate all around the box.
If you go to a real chocolate store where they actually make their own, they will sell an assortment pre-boxed without labels and, of course, fill a box with the types you like.
