If you grew up in Baton Rouge, you knew of Candy the smoking chimpanzee. I remember when she escaped once she was running around the putt putt golf course. Another part of our youth gone. LINK

The Haynes family has owned Candy since she was 6 months old. She was more than 50 years old when she died this week.
She previously performed at the now-closed Fun Fair Park in Baton Rouge and on the old “Buckskin Bill” show before she moved to Dixie Landin’ in the late 1990s.

She would have made an awesome anti-smoking PSA.

And AFAIK, she didn't eat anyone's face. Good chimp, better than we deserved.

They said a previous attempt to introduce Candy into a troop of chimps at the Baton Rouge Zoo was an “absolute failure” as Candy kept escaping and was teaching the other chimps how to flee
That's so Candy.
