The Candy Wrapper Museum

Necco is another member of the "All Time Great Candy Names" Hall of Fame. It was well worth the price of the candy just to be able to say, "Mom! I wanna Necco!", "Gimme that Necco!" or "Hey, who stole my Necco!" I liked the way they tasted too -- a good variety of flavors -- although as an adult I simply can't justify buying them anymore.

Museum guest, Bruce Miller, has just informed me that I had a bit of misinformation posted earlier on this page. I had been told by well-meaning museum guest, Derf, that NECCO stood for "The New England Candy COmpany", but actually it stands for "The New England Confectionery COmpany." Bruce adds: "I used to live next to the Cambridge factory. Every morning I would awake to a different flavored neighborhood." Esteemed museum patron Joe Lacey had made a similar comment about living near the Hershey plant in Pennsylvania, but the smell would always be chocolate. I guess either scenario could be a curse or a blessing, depending on your personality, but both of them sound good to me!
