Necco Keeps Right On!

Many of you no doubt like the much hated NECCO(TM) candy, whcih must rank with Boston Baked BeansTM, CANDY CORN(NO TM, unless BRACH'S has a final word, heh hee) and Circus PEANUTS (NO TM AT ALL!)
as worst opinion-garnering candy, though I lvoe all of these. Y'all no doubt heard ALSO of the notorious DEMISE of the wafers, not counting the  ones still left ot please us..WELL.. HAPPY DAYS!

Spangler of Bryan, Ohio--remember them?----has continued the beloved treats.

Far as I know, it'll be the same package format/flavors


(recap. on colors and flavors for the reader convience)

Color: BROWN   flavor: CHOCOLATE
Color and Flavor: ORANGE
Color: PINK          Flavor:WINTERGEEN
Color:WHITE        Flavor:CINNAMON!!! (NOW it STARTS to get INTERESTING..)
Color:LAVENDER BLUE              Flavor:CLOVE(!)
Color: YELLOW             Flavor: LEMON
Color: GREEN                   Flavor: LIME


Color and Flavor: ORANGE


Sadly, not used in that thankfully discontinued 2009-2011 take with natural flavors. The green color for lime was not an easy onne to copy, to say the least. Good riddance. There's already haters for Neccos..


Anyhow, I bought some today for the movies. Here's hopin' for a revival and a tremendous successful; to say the least of all of the flavors/colors, of those
old-timel, delicious, curious, Norman Rockwellian candies!

Pokies...

When we think of the word Pokey in ulture, me, or my namesake, Gumby's horse (see YOUR PONY PAL POKEY TOO), but there was a M&M/Hershey Ets like candy called Pokies for years sold at bulk bins in top places. Yeah, I don't at ALL blame you for being amazed...heh, The Canadians and others candies that they (like we call the powered pellets here, called, in Canada-name ROCKETS) bhave called Smarties are also like these..

Pokies had no TM (familiar?) or store available as a bag candy, so maybe "Pokies" either is ageneral namer for ir ot is a name like Circus Peanuts, or Candy Corn or those others, or something, like that kind of thing- a generic description of a candy..Pokies in short is a typical brandless type of name or even ov erall descriptor of M&Ms or Hershey-Ets.

DO YOU ever actually still eat THIS stuiff? Candy, Drink..or WAX? (Bottles, Lips)

Again, with the ever popular wax drink bottles. Many have put this inj with candy, along with good or bad (you know the usual suspects--kit Kat, Skittles, necco, Candy Corn, Licorice Gumdrops, Hershey's, Circus Peanuts, etc.). But these aren't really candy to me, either drink..or WAX?

Really.

Serkiously..? Has ANYBODY EVER had this WITOUT GETTING their FREAKING moth fulla WAX?  Then there's the ever popular WAX lips. Again As a "Rocky Horror Picture Show", "Don Knotts", "Miranda Sings" or "Mick Jagger" prop, for the lips and for tghe bottoes, to crush, please tell mre, who has ever EATEN the stuff, who's actually put it on your mouth.


(However, den't tell a soul: but I have wanted to eat scented wax  candles for my  more than 55 years on the planet.)

(anyway)

Yuck.

However, bottles and lips of wax still seem to be popular,

I dunno. Bottles might be good if you'd of decided to make candles..Lips for the above popular attributes.

But they ain't candy/

NOT by a longshot/..(drinks in the bottles.. maybe a yecch..)

Cat Poop Prank!

Hoping for no grossness....on YOUR mind part!!


Anyway, the above should show in a heartbeat the revulsion that Tootsie rolls cause..at the very least the iconic chocolates. Enjoy! (OR throw up)

Necco Wafers Chocolate Pack - The Original Candy Wafer

Have ya ever eaten a Necco  wafer? Have ya ever even a Necco CHOCOLATE wafer? ;)





Betcha can't even eat half (12?) or all! Well I can.



Also:

I wish that;

besides the 8 flavors therein-





+wintergreen

+clove

+orange

 +lemon

+chocolate 

+licorice 

+lime

+licorice



that there also exists

peppermint, spearmint, ginger, nutmeg, vanilla, and maybe some more.. one of each. AS MANY as it would take for 40 (disc count of the largest, e.g.,i.e., normal rolls like what's seen above.)

Still another, and very sad, but short, article on Necco

Hope that this can turn around, but speaking of Necco Wafers....as almost all know, New England Confectionery Company, in short Necco, is apparently almost coming to an end..

NECCO, currently just over 170 (since 1847), has this year announced its apparent impending closure. Reason not exactly known, but the company, now joined by Toys R Us in joining Company Heaven, may, like TRUS be saved if a buyer comes up or something.

I sure hope so....as readers know: I lovvvve Necco wafers..and Sky Bars, Clark bars, etc.from the company (and love going into those stores.)

More coming..

UPDATE as of OCTOBER 12, 2018:
SPANGLER, on which I've blogged about here, has revived them

Of course, all of you concerned, may have, like I, found the typical long lived older rolls here. More in latest posts (OCTOBER 12,2018)

Happy New Years, and some more on Necco(r) Chocolate Wafers, and 3rd.Anniv.

Well, it has been another year, happy 2018, and 3rd ANNIVERSARY OF this blog..(I was influenced by Cybele May of Candyblog.net, nice shout out..) and now Neccos..again. Chocolate ones.

I was buying (TWO bucks? >:<( at one of the remaining 5 and 10s (despite what Wrong-a-pedia says) known as Kirby's, of Necco all-chocolate wafers (yet again) and enjoyed them. Someone on Bonethefish, said "it's like Tootsie rolls being Lindt chocolate"(WHOA!!!!). I think they're excelle;lnt for cupcakes and yogurt toppings, every bit as much as by themselves,a s well as for other uses. I'd love to save me some Necco wafers of any kind..I love me some Necco wafers (again ,of any kind.) As Sally Field would say on "Gidget";Toodles! (And we can count on her having some with best gal pal Larue (Lynn Winter..))

Also, hope you enjoyed the past Holidays, Easter candy, Hallowe'en candy,etc.
