Gives a new meaning to “golden nugget”
Sounds like a James Bond thriller . . . “Goldenbutt!”
This kid said his dad worked in a factory, and Art asked, "So what do they make in the factory?"
Kid:"Light bulbs and toilet paper, cause that's what he brings home in his lunch box every day ..."
Puck that!
During the 1980s, they were still headquartered in Cambridge, MA and I used to have them as an account early in my career. As a vendor, I got the grand tour at least three times. I've since moved to the New York area and haven't even thought of Necco in at least a decade. I used to like their Sky Bar as well as their famous wafer lozenges.

Seriously, I was working customs at the time of the Vietnam refugee movement and those women had all kinds of monetary things stuck up their woowoos. We had a strictly hands off policy.
I did my BCT at Ft Knox in '69 and I think I remember you...you were the one who was walking funny while leaving the Depository.I was the one with the military haircut and the olive drab fatigues!
“Ragnar, why are you clanking?”
“Oh, nothing John.”
In the Quisp and Quake match up I chose Quisp.
Who did you choose in the RC vs. Sport Cola challenge?

BTW I think you can get the full panoply of Necco confections including Bonamo Turkish Taffy Varieties at "Cracker Barrel" restaurants.
My son just got himself hooked on "Moxie." Go figure!
FReegards!
new Bond villian.
I’[m sure there’s a joke in there somewhere...........
Sounds like a name for a James Bond villain.
