The original analogy is a box of chocolates, where some are poison. In the original German, it’s actually even more cool because the German word for poison is “gift”!
(Also it was originally published in 1930s Germany, and the ‘poison chocolate’ referred to Jews)

TIL! Thanks :) I first saw it during the Me Too movement, so good to know it’s been around even longer.
