Maybe some of you can add to, or subtract from the details here. Thanks!

I believe a lot of the caramel cards were probably issued in packs of caramel. Not much has been found on their packaging except some of the boxes that have cards cut from them. I know there are some mello mint wrappers (1-2) around also.
Not caramel but this is the only W575-1 package I have ever seen (shown before).. All 20 cards came in it.
