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..

Happy New Year and Necco Fans, check THIS out!!

Well, after the company closed in 2018, SPangler is now bringing these, and Sweethearts back.

Can't wait....

SO....any sign of Necco (by way of "Spangler") Wafers retuning? :-)

Hi, it's now 11/19, 5 months after my last post...starting now I present, # hashtags..to make reference a lot easier. (Awwww....:) It almost should be time that the famous #lollipop , #circuspeanut and #candycane maker Spangler releases the classic Necco wafers, just as before.

The flavors/colors should be as before
Brown - Chocolate
Pink - Pepto Bismol - I mean - Wintergreen :D
White - Cinnamon
Orange - (Cue the Trix Rabbit)-Orange
Purple - Clove
Green - Lime
Yellow - Lemon
  If everything goes according to plan.

At the latest. Necco/Spangler will have them out in February 2020. I can hardly wait. (So where are those long-lasting, already out Neccos..a store I know has their MARY JANES, MADE alrteady by Neccp (even though DEFUNCT!!@ ha ha) talk about a company whose products last a long time./)

Necco should return courtesy of Spangler

Remember my post on Necco Wafers being continued by Spangler? Well, it's been 3/4 a year now...... ourt local store ran out but one uptown has them..by now Spangler (Circus Peanuts, Dum Dums 'n' all kinfds o'goodies)
is epected to bring them back and in 2020,m the Sweetheaerts! Brachs has been doing the sweet kind for years and they didn't disappoint this year. (If you'd rather prefer your Valentine's heart candies sour andf sweet, why, other makers have
some as well).

Hhoping for a sooner return of Necco Wafers to come..can't just eat one (WHOOPS, that's not THEIR famos motto!)

Happy New years and the joy of caramel MMS agfian..

Happy new year..do you love caramel M&Ms..? These are the best they've best..chocolate, outside, inside but with caramel filling inside. I;ve made a point on this blog of making a comment on my favorite of M&M's endless varations..sorry I;m NOT a peanut fan here..bpeanut butter es..

Cripsy I like but not so much whole peanut..

Carmel M&MS have had their own ad campaign..several ads i see theatrically run there, with one having the variety's candies, sitting on the back seat in a huge advertising campaign(??) office building, sitting so the candies are behind the outdoors.

Caramel M&Ms..highly recommended,agian,
