Why complain?!? They were like sweet peppermint sticks.
This reminds me of a slightly different holiday memory.

During all of High School, by tradition, I would come in with a tin of King Leo peppermint sticks to share with everyone.

Besides being my favorite in terms of flavor, one of the things I loved about them was that, due to their length and thickness (they're a soft, air filled peppermint stick, so they tend to be shorter and fatter than hard ones like candy canes,) they were PERFECT for doing an imitation of a cigar and doing Groucho Marx impressions (I once really blew by chemistry teacher away by showing I could do the crouch walk as well.)
