  • Aw, you like them - it's special to get a pack of just chocolate
  • has anyone actually eaten Necco Wafers... like ever.
  • Ugh, Necro Wafers. When crematoriums seek alternate revenue streams.

    No, but they make nice little roof tiles for gingerbread houses.    Really, that's all they are good for.
  • They were always a candy I'd pick up once in a blue moon, I really like the chalky, not really tasting like much of anything, candy.  Plus they were a frequent candy when i was a kid in the 80's.

    Sure.

    They also make excellent BB gun targets since they puff into a cloud of dust when you hit them.
  • After 22 miles of a marathon, you'd eat *anything*, especially carbs.  Not that cookies are a good idea, having the glucose spike and subsequent crash after 22 miles would probably end your marathon.  Which makes a terrible choice for the runners.

    /my marathon was what, 30 years ago?  Fark, I'm old.

    I ran marathons forever ago.  A buddy would always run with a fanny pack of skittles.

    Ah Necco wafers, one of the worst candies.
  • certain houses would *invariably* give Necco wafers during trick-or-treating. as a poor kid who was never otherwise allowed sugar, I'd eat just about any candy, even up to and including, ugh, circus peanuts.

    I honestly cannot remember too much about them. most did not seem to taste like much of anything, including the "chocolate." - I do remember the black ones did taste like aniseed, and the white ones did taste vaguely like "cinnamon" (which, to childhood-me, seemed quite odd: "cinnamon candy isn't white it's red!!!")
  • Necco Wafers are one of those things that I would buy every couple of years to confirm 'yes, still not worth the dollar I spent on these'

  • A friend had an organic chem professor who had a way of nitrating Necco wafers so that if you threw them at a wall they'd explode. Apparently the guy is dead now though, so I probably won't get a materials and methods on that

    Been eating them since the 1950s.  A nickel roll lasted a week with a little restraint and hiding them from my four sisters.

    Yes, and you probably have too. Valentine's conversation hearts are made from the same shiat.
