*Some more evidence about the popularity of Penguin Bars. 

"Further notable about the packaging of a penguin bar is the ever-present joke or funny fact. Contrary to what you may expect, these jokes and facts are not always about penguins and usually appear to be out of place on the wrapper of a penguin bar. Despite the fact that these jokes never make your sides split, there is something special and nostalgic about reading the beginning of a penguin joke and then pealing back the wrapping to find the punch-line. It seems strange saying it, but these quirky jokes on penguin wrappers can lead to all sorts of conversation, joke sharing and can spark social situations!"
