I'm thinking about experimenting a little with our candy selection at the Darkside Cinema. It might be fun to offer candy that appeals to our sense of nostalgia. I never see Neccos, Sugar Daddies, or Bit-O-Honeys in movie snack bars anymore, and I'll bet some of our patrons would love to see these again.
In my research I uncovered these fun facts about Neccos.
Q: What are the original eight flavors in a Necco Wafer Roll?
A: The original eight flavors: orange, lemon, lime, clove, chocolate, cinnamon, licorice and wintergreen. The ingredients are simply sugar, corn syrup, gelatin, gum, colorings and flavoring.
Q: What are the six flavors in the Sweethearts Conversation Hearts?
A: The six flavors in the sweethearts Conversation Hearts are cherry, banana, lemon, grape, orange and wintergreen.
Bonus: Necco is a shortened version of "New England Confectionery Company."
Suck on that!
