[[Candy]]
*Item #:** SCP-XXXX

Special Containment Procedures:
Due to its near-worldwide effects, SCP-XXXX cannot be contained at the current time.

The Foundation has set up a front company known as “Starlight Candy Produce Co.” that will take responsibility for the production of SCP-XXXX-1, as well as produce non-anomalous replicas of SCP-XXXX-1 for commercial sale. Mobile Task Force Xi-44 (“Unwrappers”) is to monitor large confectionary producers for SCP-XXXX activity, as well as act as the company authority of Starlight Candy Produce.

The number of Contained SCP-XXXX-1 items are to be recorded so that no more than 10,000 SCP-XXXX-1 pieces are kept in one collection. Unobserved SCP-XXXX-1 containment chambers are not to exceed 900 Cubic Meters. Chambers exceeding this must be observed at least once per week.

Though it is not considered dangerous to consume, personnel should refrain from eating SCP-XXXX-1 in containment without notice. No disciplinary action is needed for those who have eaten uncontained instances.

Description:
SCP-XXXX is the phenomenon that results in the appearance of SCP-XXXX-1 and the subsequent effects of SCP-XXXX-2.

SCP-XXXX-1 instances are small, disc-shaped candies weighing about 5 grams of varying flavor and color¹. ~2cm in radius, 1cm in thickness, and rounded at the edge. Both SCP-XXXX-1 and the plastic it appears in are featureless, with no brand label, serial number, or any other identifying features. SCP-XXXX-1 Instances are comprised of Sugar, Corn Syrup, Citric Acid, and colored flavoring.

All ingredients and hundreds of pieces of SCP-XXXX-1 have been thoroughly tested and have universally returned negative for anomalous properties.

SCP-XXXX-1’s properties revolve around its sudden manifestation via a not currently understood anomalous mechanic. Scenarios required for the appearance of SCP-XXXX-1 is not fully understood, but has been documented under the following criteria:

An amount of miscellaneous candy is in an area with enough space to fit SCP-XXXX-1 ± 5 Cubic Centimeters
Candy must not be organized (ie. a box full of identical fruit candies would not produce SCP-XXXX-1)
Collection must contain at least one (1) fruit-flavored or hard candy variant. (This includes SCP-XXXX-1)
Collection must not be observed, directly (ie. naked eye, touch, etc.) or indirectly (ie. recording equipment, scale, etc.)
Collection must remain in this state anywhere from 10-100 days, after which, SCP-XXXX-1 will begin to manifest once per 10-30 days on average. Any observation will reset this time and require another 10-100 days of isolation.
Manifestation rate will scale with the amount of Candy (including SCP-XXXX-1), free space, and time left unobserved. Due to this, SCP-XXXX-1 Instances are not to be kept in enclosed, unmonitored chambers measuring more than 900 Cubic Meters.

These guidelines are accurate for the vast majority of SCP-XXXX caused appearances. Nevertheless, SCP-XXXX-1 will occasionally manifest despite not having fulfilled all of the above provisions; the most common of which being manifestation without a pre-existing source of candy.

SCP-XXXX-2 is the name given to a low-level memetic effect given to those who come into contact with SCP-XXXX-1 instances. Subjects affected by SCP-XXXX-2 will tend to not question or notice the spontaneous appearance of SCP-XXXX-1. Anyone who is aware of the existence and properties of SCP-XXXX will be inoculated from this and will be capable of perceiving SCP-XXXX-1 at a baseline level. Subjects either under the effects of Mnestics of any dose or subjects with a P.I.R.² of 0.58 or higher will also not be affected by SCP-XXXX-2.

History:
Documentation of SCP-XXXX dates back to 1950, however it is unknown how long SCP-XXXX had existed prior to its discovery. Radiometric data, wear of the plastic covers, context clues from the environment, & expiration/rotting of ingredients have suggested that some SCP-XXXX-1 artifacts have existed since the 1800s, with the oldest confirmed example dated to 1864³ and the oldest example ever found is theorized to have been created sometime in the 1840s⁴.
