Pokies...

When we think of the word Pokey in ulture, me, or my namesake, Gumby's horse (see YOUR PONY PAL POKEY TOO), but there was a M&M/Hershey Ets like candy called Pokies for years sold at bulk bins in top places. Yeah, I don't at ALL blame you for being amazed...heh, The Canadians and others candies that they (like we call the powered pellets here, called, in Canada-name ROCKETS) bhave called Smarties are also like these..

Pokies had no TM (familiar?) or store available as a bag candy, so maybe "Pokies" either is ageneral namer for ir ot is a name like Circus Peanuts, or Candy Corn or those others, or something, like that kind of thing- a generic description of a candy..Pokies in short is a typical brandless type of name or even ov erall descriptor of M&Ms or Hershey-Ets.
