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.
