Hippy Sippy was a candy introduced in the late 1960s. It consisted of small, multi-colored chocolate pellets contained in a plastic ampoule, with a straw provided to suck the candy from the container.[1] Also included was a button badge with the phrase "Hippy Sippy says I'll try anything" or "please feed me" printed on it.[2]

The packaging was seen by some as resembling a syringe,[2] and drew criticism for potentially normalizing drug use.[3] The FDA classified the packaging as a health hazard over concerns that pellets could be inhaled through the straw and into the respiratory tract.[1]
The product was removed from the market within a few months.[4]
