Forest Gump said that quote. He's referring to these box's of chocolates where each candy contains some filling that's pretty much unknown until you eat it.

Maybe this is a result of greater allergy awareness and wasn't true of the ... 80s? which kind of makes it a different simile...
Forest Gump came out in the mid 90s.

Why would you sell candy without telling people whats inside them? Most people don't like all fillings.
Why don't all countries use metric? Not everything in this universe needs to follow a perfectly logical explanation.
As for the pictures, I can say the most famous brand people are most familiar with where I'm from is sees candy chocolate boxes. I've never seen Kraft candy, that company is mostly known for cheese. If sees candy did label their candies I've never seen it and therefore it must not have been very evident.
Regardless what you think, the quote exists because most people usually don't know what they're eating when they put these candies in their mouths. See here for the quote: https://youtu.be/egkrxkiUnoo?t=43
If you squint you'll see that's a Sees candy box.
