@apLundell I still purchase those stupid candies if I'm by a dollar store. Always brings back memories.

Confectionery, not candy

@elithebearded It's "The Original Candy Wafer". It says so right on the wax paper wrapper.

@apLundell

Modern slogan for the youth, but New England Confectionery Company Wafers is the true name.

@apLundell which flavour is your favourite?
Show threadAndy L.Mar 9

@wohali Tough to say. The chocolate ones are a nice treat, but you can buy a whole roll of the chocolate ones and that's disappointing.

Clove is a fun stand-out just because it's an unusual flavor for a candy nowadays.

I think the variety is part of the charm.

@apLundell yeah the clove is probably my fav! but i am also a licorice stan.

@coriander @apLundell

Each roll of Necco Wafers contains eight flavors: lemon (yellow), lime (green), orange (orange), clove (purple), cinnamon (white), wintergreen (pink), licorice (black), and chocolate (brown). The ingredients in Necco Wafers are sugar, corn syrup, gelatin, gums, colorings, and flavorings.

@wohali @apLundell The pink is my fave because I love mints

Also if you eat the pink ones in the dark you can see them spark in your mouth which is weird!!

@wohali @coriander @apLundell I love wintergreen but clove is a close second. These and Big League Chew, candies of my childhood.

@apLundell I love them. Will die on that hill. My kids don’t understand why I like Skinny Tums, but they’re my favorite

@apLundell back in the day I used to walk past their factory on Mass Ave in Cambridge, MA and you could taste them on the air just walking by, it was delightful.

@apLundell Whenever I get a roll I always say I'm going to make them last this time. But once I open the roll, it will be gone in 20 minutes. Soooo good.
Show threadAndy L.Mar 10
@lerxst That was my plan also. However, the roll is now gone.
Show threadLudwig VielfrassMar 11
@apLundell I bought two rolls tonight so I didn't feel quite so bad when I finished the first one. 😁
