Necco's Flavors that NEVER were!

 Well, back agaiin 2022, and I AM back now on all my blogs permanently.


Okay, mt longtime passion..superpassion, Necco Wafers


Everyone knows these are

Chocolate-brown

Licorice-black

Cinnamon-white

Clove-purple

Orange, Lemon, and Lime, obvious


But I have always--O-kay, recently-lol-wished for these to be these..

these flavors:

Ginger-gray

Nutmeg-deep brown

Violet-deep purple (hell, if Choward's ®can have it, why not Necco ®®)

Rose-pink

They could each easily be mixed with the eight others-hell, there's room enough in an average Spangler/Necco roll.

And they taste hella good as always (even though they ARE now made outside US, in Mexico,..)


Yep, Necco (turn on dream world mode of mine at this moment:)

Licorice!

Chocolate!

Wintergreen!

Orange!

Cinnamon!

Clove!

Lemon!

Lime!

Nutmeg!

Ginger!

Violet!

Clove!


So, Spangler of Bryan, Ohio, if you ARE reading, please take notice.


Thank you.

Meanwhilst, I'll keep on enjoying them as is until the even better suggesiton is done.

NEW INFORMATION SINCE LAST POST

Hi, back here..I have moved two counties--no, NOT two COUNTRIES LOL-but, TWO COUNTIES..to RIVERSIDE. from LA I have had a surprising very happy new home..we went to El Cajon's

Tom's Farms, est.1971, and had fun and lunch there (me, my mother and our longtime friends).While in the candy store there, there were all kinds of candies reviewed here and elksewhere.


Yes, TOM'S FARMS candies, like CIRCUS PEANUTS, as mentioned back in 2019, 2 yrs ago, and Candy Corn, Chowards, Necco/Spangler Wafers, BBBBats (Worrels),etc.,etc.,etc.,etc.,etc.


Of course, watchinbg diet, and we can't give candy to our beloved bichon frise dog....sorry, Deen..

(A candy lover's dream!) I have had occasional circus peanutds (CPs, as Cybele May has called them-go thru earler posts here) here in Riverside county,as well. Spangler (from their own bag,

at the former Pic/Save/Big Lots, and LIKE banaas,mas they should, NOT as bbq chips)!L:OL


Had Spangler Circus Peanuts from both the CVS brand (barbeque potato chip like) and (from Pic N Save) Spangler brand thremselves (banana), and from Dollar Tree and from Wal*Mart(sic), Melster's (ALWAYS BANANA!) Circus Peanuts.

Alright, SpanglerTM's "Sweetjheasrts"TM (nee: "Necco") back in stores!

Well, it's happened. A few days before, on Saturday, February 1, 2020, I found Splanger NeccoTM Sweethearts! In CVS/Pharmacy/La marcary, while waiting tos ee at the LA MIRADA THEATRE, the classic ARSENIC & OLD LACE, a box of Necco Sweethearts by Spangler, and noted the SPANGLER name..! I looked for its sisters and brothers. and then, after five minutes, there it WAS! A whole BOX of Spangler Sweethearts, following in Necco's candy steps.

Sadly, as of March 13, the stupid Covid 19 virus has closed many theatres, but as of mid June, things are opening again..

Delish.

I know I will HAVE some soon..


NOW. Could other Necco revivals from Spangler be far behind...INCLUDING (Necco) WAFERS? Clearly..

And now the NECCO WAFERS ARE BACCCCCK!

Happy 5th!

Egged on and inspired by Cybele May's currently inactive candyblog.net (still online,) (and this is dedicated to you, CM!  <3 <3), I started this to discuss old school, often derided, candies, back in 2015 AFTER re-trying:

Neccos
Circus Peanuts
Candy Corn
Good and Plenty
and some others

I also love B-B-Bats.

Wax Bottles..-YECCH!!

Also came  back to Tootsie Rolls, too..

(Yeah..:)) A lot of YouTube video candy tastings by top YouTubers use that trope of "Tootsies suck"..as a topic..


The ClarkTM Bar cups!

In keeping with Necco news (and attempts to keep ALL of my blogs GOING!) I'm happy to report that a local store, here in Whittier, CALIF., the former Pic 'n';Save (before, a Vons or something and a Market Basket even before), called Big Lots! (a large chain like the former stores were), has a Boyer-made Clark cups product, the Clark Bar.


Formerly made by Necco, these, of course, initially were not at all made by Necco but by Dr.(yes "Doctor") D.L.Clark in 1917. These were, as I've mentioned in the last 5 years of my blog, which I will celebrate..) the prototype/inspiration for 5th Avenue and Butterfinger. Currently, of course, Butterfinger is the main one (ya ever think that Bart Simpson would every yammer, "No body better lay a finger on my Clark bar", or, "Nobody better lay a finger on my 5th Avenue?" Seriously?

Okay,"No one better lay a scar on my Clark Bar?

"No one better spew on my Fifth Avenue?" Serious? I thought so.

But, anyhoo,  I digress.

With the above, I can say Clark Bars, and hopefully, Sky Bars, under the guiance of Boyer candies is coming back (and Spangler's revival of Necco Wafers and related products will.)

I also wish Mary Janes would, just not with Mary Jane as in marijuana! (Same for Squirrel nuts..Saw them at a Five below..do THEY l;ast as long as the WAFERS by Necco..?)

Stay tuned..
