Description
During the Great Depression, candy with a prize inside, usually a coin or a lead trinket, was very popular. However, they could be deadly when swallowed by small children. These photos taken by Dr. Chevalier Jackson, a pioneering laryngologist, helped convince Congress to approve a provision in the 1933 Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and still in force today, which prohibits the sale of trinkets embedded in confections.
