Whoops! Such an easy mistake to make.

It was donated in sealed packaging by someone in a food drive - it was actually an extremely easy mistake to make.

A pretty expensive one for whoever lost track of their fake candy in their actual candy, though. Apparently each of these has a street value of hundreds of USD.
