I don't recall specifically who or where, but there's a scene in The Phantom Tollbooth - separate from the half-baked ideas banquet, I'm pretty sure - involving edible punctuation. I seem to remember sugar-coated apostrophes being involved.
To whom does it belong?
Because... Yes. I have the wish to use it, and must give proper credit.

She offers Milo some candied punctuation marks. The banquet is a lot of edible puns.
Did we never make a wiki page for it?
Wasn't us. Our agents have a bag of punctuation and a hammer, so fics that seriously cry out for it, but they've never eaten it.
I haven't seen it in any missions other than my own Bad Slash mission (check out the wiki pages of Dana Trent and/or Tarian Toran for details).
But someone else may have used it before and I just don't know about it.
What do commas taste like? Because I've been proofreading something and if the commas were eaten, it would explain a lot.
