With every crate of C's came a "SP" pack. The Supplimental Pack held exta cigs, candy, even paperback books. My Fav was Hershey's Tropical Choclate. It had a high parafin content, and you could chew it for hours and hours. I could have all I wanted, 'cause no-one else wanted it. When we drove thru the Montanyard ville's, the guys would throw it out to the 'yard kids. If we weren't driving very fast, they would throw it back in the truck!
