Product Description
This jumbo tin contains 10 ounces (approximately 22 rolls) of the original Necco Wafers, an American classic for over 150 years. The wafers you grew up with. There is the sweet taste of candy history in every disk. NECCO Wafer rolls include 8 flavors and colors: lemon (yellow); orange (orange); lime (green); clove (purple); cinnamon (white); wintergreen (pink); licorice (black); and chocolate (brown). NECCOs have always been a naturally fat and sodium free product. They do not contain gluten from wheat, rye, oats or barley. In very low humidity, NECCO Wintergreen Wafers spark in the dark when broken. The New England Confectionery Company (NECCO), located in Massachusetts, is the oldest multi-line candy company in the United States. In 1847 Oliver R. Chase of Boston invented and patented the first American candy machine, a lozenge cutter. With his brother, Silas Edwin, he founded Chase and Company, the pioneer member of the NECCO family. Here are some more fun facts about NECCO Wafers. Over 120 NECCO Wafers are consumed every second of every day throughout the entire year. In excess of 4 billion NECCO Wafers are sold each year. This is enough to completely encircle the world twice if placed edge to edge. In the 1930's, Admiral Byrd took 2 1/2 tons of NECCO Wafers to the South Pole, practically a pound a week for each of his men during their 2-year stay in the Antarctic.
