Someone thought it was a good idea to send the mayor of Hamilton Township a bag of penis-shaped candy as a prank.

Mayor Kelly Yeade received a package of penis-shaped candy, sent through the website Dysfunctional Veterans, last week.

The group's website, and its accompanying Facebook page, describe its community as "a brotherhood and sisterhood of veterans rooted in sarcasms and the things that remind us we are not alone."

The Dysfunctional Veterans website sells a variety of items such as T-shirts, hats, mugs, flags, patches, and pranks.

The website offers "Eat a bag of d----" under its prank gift category with the following description:

"Don't you wish you could just tell that special idiot you know to eat a bag of d----? Wouldn't it be even better if you could actually give them a bag of d---- to eat? Now you can!"

Yaede's office received the candy last week, when the mayor wasn't in.

"My staff intercepted it and then asked the Hamilton Township police department to find out the origin of the package," Yaede told NJ Advance Media. "When I was alerted to it I didn't give it a second thought, and laughed it off."

Dysfunctional Veterans made a post on their Facebook page about the police investigation including a screen shot of an email they received from the Hamilton Township Police Department, requesting to speak to someone at the company about the purchase.

Yaede then put an end to the brief investigation into who sent the candy.

"It was a prank and that's all I took it as," Yaede said.
