The Stand

Corrected entry: In the first edition printing of The Stand, Harold and Frannie are tracked by the Payday candy bar wrappers that Harold is constantly eating. Frannie then discovers that Harold has read her journal because of the chocolate finger prints on the pages. While the Payday candy bar has been around since 1932, it has never included chocolate as an ingredient.

Correction: The chocolate Paydar bar does exist: http://www.typetive.com/candyblog/item/chocolate_payday/.

Other mistake: In Chapter 59, Stu says that Nick "might have had his hands right on the shoebox", when the bomb inside went off. But Stu had no way of knowing that the bomb was hidden in a shoebox, he ran out of the house before it was even discovered. The only one who got close enough to see it was Nick, who was killed in the explosion.

Trivia: In Chapter 62 Lloyd tells Dayna that Trashcan Man has brought several Flametracks (M132 Self Propelled Flamethrower) back to Las Vegas. The book is set during 1990 (but written in 1978) and flametracks were completely phased out of the US inventory by 1980.
