Fun Facts about Good & Plenty, courtesty of Wikipedia:
-Good & Plenty was first produced by the Quaker City Confectionery Company in 1893 and is the oldest branded candy in the United States.
-The pink candies are colored with a red dye called K-Carmine that is produced from the bodies of the female Cochineal beetle. However, the current packaging lists the red dye as "Artificial Color (K-Carmine and Red 40)".
-They are mentioned in an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond entitled when Ray mentions that his brother Robert separates them by colour, calling the white ones " the good ", because they are, and the pink ones " the plenty ", because there are more of them.

Before I read your comments (seeing the picture first), the scene from ELR, where Robert admits to separating the "Good" from the "Plenty" came to my mind.
