3. We asked Herald readers to weigh in on Facebook. Here’s what they said:
Andrew Thorp: “I always had to have Smarties. I loved the extra acidic taste they had. You had to not breathe, though, when chewing them, because breathing the dust brought on a bad coughing fit. And I also loved Neccos.”
RuthAnn Shepherd Henshaw: “Candy corn can go into the junk drawer and rot for all I care. Now anything with peanut butter… well, those were my favorites.”
Katie Carlisle Conner: “I miss the candy that was like salt water taffy in texture but wrapped in orange or black wrap. I remember coveting those above all the rest.”
Geoffrey Thorp: “Neccos were fun for playing Holy Communion.”
Ramona Lane: “I loved Nerds when I was a kid. But I never really liked Tootsie Rolls.”
Jesse Nord: “Neccos are amazing!!!”
Jessica Sanchez: “Neccos taste like chalk.”
