The routine is here https://youtu.be/jgcGEIfE9kE but I don't think that's the origin of the phrase and doesn't mention mailing candy ones to people

I'm pretty sure I head that phrase sometime in the 90s, maybe early 2000s. It's been around a while.

I see. Thank you for this I couldn’t remember the first time I heard this but I’m pretty sure this is what I saw and am referring to.
