They're not bad, just kinda chalky disks of sweetness with a mild clove flavor. Not my favorite, but I never really eat candy anyway.

If that flyer instead said, "This Halloween, please make sure you have some candies for people with severe allergies like my son. You'd really make his night special" I'd have no problem with it.

that's not really a fair comparison bc gluten free is just another expression of a longstanding diet fad in our culture (and many other cultures have had a lot of focus on superstitious dieting) while transgender is part of a much newer discourse

so probably transgender is "hotter" bc it's newer in a more fundamental way

Yes some kids have Celiac, but I have a weird feeling that that parent is a more common condition for a kid to have.

Also, eating Necco wafers is worse than eating no candy. If I could choose between having a ton of Necco wafers and having nothing, I would pick the Necco wafers because I could sell them to a store that doesn't mind retailing bad things, but any less and I'd be like "what am I gonna do with these Necco wafers, because eating them is out of the question"

I might blow them up in a field somewhere, that could be cool actually.

If we're lucky, that kid will one day grow to become the head of Necco Incorporated, and replace them with something else because of his lifelong hatred borne of his mother shoving wafer after wafer into his mouth, screaming "YOU ARE NOT DEVASTATED, MY SON!!!!"

Every flavor is some weird thing you wouldn't expect the color to taste like. Like there's anise, and the purple one is something weird that may be lavendar (it tastes like you're eating perfume or something).

Also Necco wafers are great, like

Necco wafers suck when you're a kid but they are great as an adult with the ability to taste flavors beyond "all the sugar"

I love Necco wafers, reminds me of old candy cigarettes. Not quite old-timey candy, but definitely not modern. Hard to find though, at least around here.

How would you even describe the texture of a necco wafer? Compressed Pepto Bismol maybe?

I agree they are pretty good once you get past how weird they are. I doubt any kid on earth likes them though. "ooh what is this strawberry? Oh wait it's potpourri"

I've eaten Necco wafers exactly one time in my life, and they were in some bumfuck middle-of-nowhere convenience store and bait shop. I've never found them anywhere else.

Pepto Bismol makes chewables, and you're on the right track with that.

I don't mind lavender and clove and stuff being used to accent things, but Necco Wafers just taste like opening up a spice jar and pouring it in your mouth.
