A vintage candy company owner,  Crystal Regehr Westergard, has thousands of chocolate bars and has been struggling to give them away before the expiration date. The candy, which was widely beloved in the 1980s, is described as rum flavored with Caramilk inside. Westergard ordered the bars from an overseas production company, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there were some delays. When she finally received her orders, she got them in bulk. People are buying them, but not at a rapid pace. Westergard tried giving them to schools, and local homeless shelters — but there are still far too many. She tried to give them to the Edmonton Oilers, a professional ice hockey team, to give to fans, but they have their own contracted snack suppliers.
