https://www.wptv.com/simplemost/necc...ctory-shutdownNecco Wafers have been a classic candy staple since their invention in 1847. They were even distributed to soldiers during World War II because the candies are so durable! You may remember Necco Wafers from trick-or-treating, or maybe you have memories of your grandparents sharing them with you. Undoubtedly, the classic candies figure into your childhood in some way.
Still, Necco Wafers are not as flashy as more modern confections, like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups or Baby Ruths. Naysayers have complained that Necco Wafers taste like drywall or chalk; time and again, the wafers have topped lists of America's most hated candy.
Be that as it may, Necco Wafers are suddenly having a huge revival. Why? Because the candy factory — the New England Confectionary Company, or Necco — that makes these deliciously despised candies may shut down.
Where is the Outrage?!
