You Call Him Dr. Jones, Lady!!!
retroCRUSH's Offensive Snacks of Yore
I found this page particularly amusing. Back in the 60s, candymakers weren't afraid to name their candy after racial stereotypes. So you get Chinese Cherry (with slant eyes and bad teeth), Injun Orange (with headdress and face paint), and Rots O'Ruck (Lots of Luck, for the layperson). But I think calling some chocolates Nips isn't so bad. I don't think there was any malicious intent. We still got Cheese Nips around. But it's funny, nonetheless.
