I loved Necco wafers - used them for BB practice. Loved how they shattered, my own form of clay-pigeon shooting.

1. Can't say THAT would be the discontinued food product I'd like to see return, but hey nostalgia

is not a bad thing. Good luck to the company the second time around.

2. Those were always one of my favorites as a kid.

When I was young I took my sugar straight up and uncut!

3. Not sure that was their intended purpose

but I like your style

Dispensing it ("nostalgic advice"_ to consume this - there's got to be advertising, doncha know) is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth

First off: You've got to be old enough to recall this candy. I suspect, therefore, the last bit above to be more the truth of the Necco Wafer resurrection. What I remember was the chalky (Yuck) chocolate flavor melting/crunching in one's mouth.

IMHO, in the more truthful metaphorical words of American poet Robert Frost: "Nothing gold can stay."

So...pessimistic that the revival will last long - maybe it was brought back to be in the GOP delegate swag bag?
