In the film, E.T., an endearing space creature, is lured out of hiding by a boy who scatters pieces of the candy in his path...

Lately, however, it has become a major corporate problem because of a virulent whispering campaign alleging that the logo is satanic and that Procter & Gamble is somehow involved in the worship of the devil. The talk first surfaced in January 1980, and reappeared two years later when the firm began getting thousands of phone calls about stories that company officials had confessed on the Phil Donahue and Merv...
