After some quick Googling I discovered that this little item was either a) part of an old Sprint advertising campaign or b) part of a U.S. Mint set that someone accidentally or intentionally opened and used. Either way, a strange way to start the day.

After applying some gorilla force to the food machine, the candy bar plunged to its ultimate demise. I sat it in my desk drawer–it’s still there.

Maybe I’ll drive to work tomorrow.
