Not sure what the wax bottles were called, but they sell them in the candy store here! As well as a package full of old treats called "I remember" or "remember when" its got all kinds of old favs in it. I think its somethng like $25 for the big bag full.

None when I was a child execpt chocolate...

Now, my favorite is still chocolate, mostly black... and Fisherman's Friend Original

95% dark chocolate and Fisherman's Friend, now there's a taste combo not for the faint of heart!

speaking of mecca, I loved necco wafers too.

I never understood how anyone could like those things. Somebody would be eating them and offer them to me, and I would know that they were no good, but think that maybe I just forgot or was wrong before. I'd try one and they still would taste like paste.

squirell nutkin 06-17-2010 10:12 AM

haha. I was never a paste eater in grade school. I liked the soft dissolving texture of neccos

Neccos have been around since the civil war. maybe they even caused the civil war...

Nik-L-Nips ... which sounds vaguely dirty, and I don't recommend searching from your work computer when you only remember the "nips" part of the name.

:D

I love Necco wafers. And root beer barrels.

And Werther's Originals.

I can't stand anything gummy, except black licorice or jellybeans.

I loved Zero bars when they first came out. Now I can't stomach one.

Juicy Fruit gum. It pisses me off now, it's all food-colored yellow. Why the hell does it have to be a color all of a sudden?

wolf 06-17-2010 07:18 PM

Jujubes. The real ones, not the poor gummy substitutes they sell now-adays. The ones that could rip out fillings.

Marathon Bars. Just caramel and chocolate, but excellent. No more chocolate than other bars, but the linked "O" shapes made it seem bigger. Not technically a "nostalgic" candy, since I was in high school when they came out.

I never liked the wax bottles. Or Wax Lips. Anything involving wax is not really a candy. It's a candle. Having the same first four letters doesn't count, in my book.

Necco wafers taste like cardboard. No go.

Good 'n Fruities seem to have disappeared. I don't like licorice, so I never had Good 'n Plenties.

Rock candy, candy buttons, those Hickory Farms hard strawberry candies with the gel inside that were in wrappers that looked like strawberries, Red Hots, jawbreakers, those huge lollypops that are a big swirl of fruity candy goodness, Jelly Babies (which are more a part of my young-adulthood too, but I had to get them at SciFi conventions and I do miss them).

Like candy much there wolf? ;)

Oooo... I liked those. I'm thinking our high school time may well be approaching nostalgic.
