Isnt it the same company?

I know for sure that Necco is the same company that makes the traditional Valentine antacids that we see every year....with slogans like "Be Mine," "Cool One," "C U Later," and "Try Again"

Agreed. They are a poorly-executed homeless man's version of a Bit O' Honey. Growing up in a poor neighborhood (before I had the means to escape to greener pastures for trick-or-treating) I received a lot of peanut butter kisses. The usually ended up as ammo in my wrist rocket.

Hence the "poorly-executed homeless man's version" modifier. And I agree, Bit O'Honey, if not overly hard, is a delicious treat.

When the scriptures talk of Manna, they are talking about Bit O'Honey.

That is why nobody knew what it was and kept saying, "What IS that?"

They hadn't seen prepackaged candy before.

Can someone drop a few million into R&D to develop a wax paper that comes off easily, please? Seriously, it has been about 80 years and the paper still sticks to everything.

Sometimes I am so excited to eat my Bit O'Honey that I dont even bother removing all the paper. There is a break-even point wherein the distaste associated with the paper is outweighed by the utility received from the candy.
