Necco Wafers are back!

I know of "some" people that were paying several dollars a roll on the black market when the supply 1st dried up.

Funny!  Back when I was working in flight test on the Sikorsky X2 technology demonstrator, our pilot insisted on the crewchief giving him a necco wafer before lightoff.  It was sort of a Chuck Yeager/Beeman gum takeoff.  I'll have to let him know!

Good story - I wish I could eat just one!

A true demonstration of self-control on his part!  :good2:

Several dollars a roll?! I should have sold my stock pile. I kept them right next to the TP pile  :rofl:

Never heard of them.
Invented by a British bloke though.
