The old fashioned looking packaging is definitely part of the appeal too.
Am I the only person who remembers Teaberry and Black Jack gum?
So THAT’s what that flavor is! Thanks for filling me in after all these decades!
I think the chocolate ones are my favorite, but depends on my mood :-)
Oh cr*p! Did you see THIS?
Necco Goes All-Natural
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,571330,00.html
“Beet juice, purple cabbage, cocoa powder and turmeric — a spice often used in curries — are some of the natural ingredients in the new wafers, which will be phased in at retail stores before and after Halloween. . . . One thing will be missing, however. “We lost green,” she said. Green, one of eight original wafer colors, was too hard to duplicate in the all-natural process. It seems the lime flavor could be reproduced naturally, but the color lacked consistency so it was scrapped. That leaves seven flavors/colors: orange; lemon (yellow); clove (pink); cinnamon (white); wintergreen (purple); licorice (gray); and chocolate, which now will come in variations of milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate and mocha.”
Beet juice? Purple cabbage? MOCHA?!? In my NECCO WAFERS???? Aaaaarrrrrrggggghhhh!!!! What is this world coming to????
P.S. I just gave them a piece of my mind. You should too. Maybe they can be brought to their senses.

Seriously, who the heck is going to buy Necco wafers because they’re looking for “natural” foods?
