I've never heard or seen that either... Interesting! But, it's funny, and that why I'm commenting, that is because I have this box up in my attic, (24x24x24), filled with all these Califorinia Raison's that I collected from back in the early 80's when they were popular.
I've been thinking about selling them recently as well as my old comic books, baseball cards and possible my Lp's (about 2,000 of them). Just to unload them and finially start letting go of all of the stuff I have collected over the years. And a little extra jingle in my pocket never hurts....
