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..
