"sugar packets"??
Are you talking about a packet of Silica Gel (used as a dessicant)?
Silica gel is non-toxic, although large quantity could be dehydrating, but
the blue/pink moisture indicator (cobalt chloride) is considered
carcinogenic.

I haven't seen that particular one. Sugar packets are common in Holland, and often
come printed with company logos for use as promotional items (or for use in the company
cafeteria). Some people collect them, in the way others collect stamps.

Are they actually sugar to put in coffee?
I'm used to desiccant packets, a.k.a. silica gel coming in everything
here in the U.S.A. Decidedly NOT sugar. But sometimes mistakenly
considered to be sugar.

I much prefer people to collect these instead of keys from keyboards.

Wow, that's an oldie.
Sugar sachets (suikerzakjes) were pretty common in Europe in the '60 and
'70-ties.
Indeed they were collected, every cafe, restaurant or company did have
them and usually had their own printing on them. Later on they got
more or less replaced with packed sugar cubes and nowadays in sticks
with plain, boring sticks.
