Might try asking "What are N***** Baby Candies?"
I worked a concession stand at NY State Fair for a
couple years in high school in the early 70's and
used to sell them (along with 100+ other candies
sold by the scoop full for total weighted ounces),
and back then it was mostly only coloreds who'd
eagerly ask for by name, buying them all up, too.
Thing is, the N word wasn't widely derogatory back
then, or was just beginning to be, as name changed
to chocolate baby or licorice baby the following year,
but the local coloreds still kept coming in asking for
their popular and favorite N***** Babies long after...
Panic Early, Beat the Rush!
