Gingerbread house shingles!

For novelty purposes...not for actual consumption. 2 for 1 deal with itching powder and stink bombs.

I'm sorry & just personal opinion here but those things are awful! I used to hate getting them in my Halloween bag.

who thinks NECCO wafers were ghastly.

99 cents indicates what they pay dare devils to try eating one without vomiting, right?

Even Runts and mike and Ike’s were better

Damn!!!

Sky Bars always seemed like a terrible compromise: two decent fillings, one meh, one just weird. Fudge, caramel, white and mystery.

By ElizaLeila on Sat, 06/19/2021 - 7:04pm.

I'll be the lone appreciator. Except for the liquorish tasting ones.

By Wiffleball on Sat, 06/19/2021 - 8:14pm.

and they're the best ones.

By Dave on Sat, 06/19/2021 - 11:28pm.

The grey ones and the brown ones were the best, in that order.

Followed closely by -- and I realize I may be very alone in this -- the pink ones.

By lbb on Mon, 06/21/2021 - 10:17am.

...the white ones weren't bad, I thought.

By ElizaLeila on Mon, 06/21/2021 - 9:12am.

I'll save those for you if I can have the pink?

By BostonDog on Sat, 06/19/2021 - 8:56pm.

I greatly enjoyed them, although less so once Necco left Cambridge.

By perruptor on Sun, 06/20/2021 - 8:15am.

Except for the liquorish tasting ones.

If only there were liquor-flavored ones, maybe they'd be edible.

Or maybe you meant licorice.

By ElizaLeila on Mon, 06/21/2021 - 9:14am.

Whoops! That must have been the wine talking/spelling. Thanks for correcting. ;-)

Goes to show u how strong the following of enthusiasts of Necco Wafers, Moxie, Pez, Fluff, and Betty Page rockabilly fashion is!! Luv it!!

getting enough bone meal in your diet?

(Haven't bought a roll in years: it was an all-chocolate one: not, in my estimation, terrible.)

By ChrisInEastie on Sun, 06/20/2021 - 1:36am.

at a popular candy store in the Adirondacks this weekend. All felt right with the world!

By perruptor on Sun, 06/20/2021 - 8:20am.

and you can't find any Necco Wafers, go to the drugstore or market and get some store-brand antacid tablets. Very similar. Usually better-tasting.

By ChrisInEastie on Sun, 06/20/2021 - 4:18pm.

in the “not a fan” camp, but just enjoy knowing they’re still a thing.

By Hunter on Sun, 06/20/2021 - 6:22am.

Where else can you get clove flavored candy?

By lbb on Mon, 06/21/2021 - 10:19am.

Beeman's gum, in such weird and wonderful flavors as clove, teaberry, Black Jack (licorice) and Beeman's Pepsin Gum, the gum of aviators!

By anon on Sun, 06/20/2021 - 7:08am.

There even available in Virginia Beach.

By StillFromDorchester on Sun, 06/20/2021 - 10:28am.

Know Necco Wafers are just a little better than Communion wafers. :)

By notadoctor on Sun, 06/20/2021 - 5:42pm.

Necco wafers WERE communion wafers.

By Biggie_Robs on Sun, 06/20/2021 - 10:30pm.

Insulin pump wearing diabetics become candy connoisseurs of a kind.

Necco Wafers are one of my preferred "break glass in case of emergency" candies.
