Yesterday on this blog I expressed gobsmacked disbelief that Necco Wafers, which had been discontinued following the bankruptcy of the New England Confectionery Company, would soon be returning to stores.
My article, heavy on the wisenheimer, suggested that there is in fact nobody left on planet Earth who likes or consumes these chalky, bland, foul-tasting death discs.
But of course, I was exaggerating. Slightly. There are Necco Wafer fans, and I am happy for them. I too know the pain of having a beloved snack product disappear:
But unlike Hostess snack cakes, which everyone universally loves, there is a vocal, prominent distaste for Necco wafers.
Ha! And you thought I was the only one. Not by a country mile, friendo.
But being a curious soul, and also wanting to use my blog for the powers of good, I am proud to present:

I love necco wafers, even though
it is an obvious sign of old age at the present time (and probably dementia as well). When the high fallooting candy was a grandiose 10 cents, my ol’ favorite, Necco wafers was a humble nickel and well affordable on my 10 year olds’ budget! I would empty out that sleeve to find and count out my favorite color-black.
Yum! My day was complete. Now I could go through the rest and pick my next best favorite until they were gone. So sorry you didn’t experience this young people…🤗😽❤️
