a thread for Choward's Violet Mints and other weird old-people candies

The candy is mentioned in two episodes of the AMC series Mad Men and displayed in others. In "Three Sundays", we learn it was Archibald Whitman's favorite candy. In "Far Away Places", Peggy - who has an important presentation that day - anxiously searches in vain for her pack and explains to Abe that Donald Draper once gave it to her before a presentation. She dismisses Abe's suggestion to buy a replacement, because it "wouldn't be the same". When she finds it in her desk drawer at work, she tells her SCDP colleagues, "Oh. Thank God. I couldn't take one more omen of doom." In season six, we see that she continues to keep the candy in her desk drawer, even at CGC.
