Neccos The original candy wafer! My favorites are clove, chocolate, peppermint and the pink mint ones. The rest are ok too but ask my kids what my favorite candy is and they know it’s Neccos.
Which one’s are clove? I realized there are some flavors I can’t actually identify, and never really tried. Didn’t realize one of them was clove.
I continue to be fascinated by the unsealed package phenomenon. That’s something that has virtually disappeared from the face of the nation. My other longtime favorite candy is York peppermint patties, and they used to be in an unsealed foil-paper package (like the little ones that are sold in bulk in a sealed bag), but they switched to a sealed plastic wrapper many years ago. I’m wondering if the sealed package phenomenon has less to do with liability than with the cultural proliferation of nervous-nellie, scary-germs-are-everywhere-and-could-kill-us customers. If so, the Necco maker must have done a little market research and discovered that Necco-lovers don’t fit that mold, and are perfectly happy with the old-fashioned, unsealed (and cheaper to manufacture) packaging. I think we’re a special, common-sensical bunch.
