Do you have a favorite
"candy you ate as a kid" story?
Share it here.As a youngster growing up in the 50's, our neighborhood had a nearby shopping area with a movie theater. On "haircut" Saturday my Mother would give me a dollar--75 cents for the barber, 15 cents for movie admission; leaving me 10 cents - which always went for two 5 cent rolls of Necco Wafers. I could make the two rolls last through the news reel, previews, cartoon and the feature. Other Saturdays, the money was only a quarter, but it still left enough for my two rolls of Necco Wafers.
Today, I still buy the Necco Wafers (they aren't a nickel any longer) but I buy two rolls at a time and the wafers taste exactly as I remember - a great way for me to take a nostalgic trip back to my youth and old neighborhood. ~ Wallace from Mississippi
