@eeels ROFLMAO!

Reminds of of a conversation recounted by a friend this Halloween. Upon meeting a toddler Yoda, she said, “May the force be with you”.
He responded, immediately, “And also with you”.

I loved the clove, licorice the best but actually enjoyed all the flavors. Didn't know about Neccos being the candy for the soliders..interesting. I lived on an army base when I was a teenager, we would go to the show and throw jujubees at each other...was weird going to the show all the soliders that lived on the base would stand up and cheer when my sister and I walked in, not just for us, they cheered for all young girls age 15, 17 years. Was very strange but I never felt scared, they probably knew who my Dad was!

I would really appreciate a list of things customers shouldn't do. I always want to be a "good" customer, and I worry I try too hard.
Regarding number 100, I have heard from waiters, and I know from my stint in a sandwich shop, that comping items can get you into trouble, since sometimes people start to expect it. My first day I let someone in before we were really open, and after that I always had to let him in early to get his first cup of coffee.

Ok - the last 50 were reasonable and what I do expect from my dining experience. Mainly because I do not deal with alcohol when I dine out, and the 1st 50 dabbled a bit more with that.

And dropped items really gross me out. I never place anything on the floor anywhere. Yeah, more disgusting things may happen in the kitchen, where my steak could have been stepped on after the person stepped in a festering wet rubbish puddle outside and off to the bathroom...but I didn't see it.

"Refrain from touching the wet spots on the guest." made me chuckle.

The intersection between Catholicism and Necco Wafers in this threat is fascinating--perhaps receiving communion makes people more apt to like them? ;)

I used to WANT to like them as a little girl, because of Sweet Tarts and the lovely little sayings on them. Cupcakes with Sweet Tarts 'round Valentine's Day were adorable--but as for the taste? BLECH!

Necco wafers were actually carried by Civil War soldier's.

You should definitely check out the new all natural and all natural chocolate roll (it has four flavors in it now). There was also some mention on the package of some Superfruit Necco Wafers.

Grew up with Necco wafers and Canada mints. Do they still put Necco's in a wax paper wrapper?

Love necco wafers. (also Canada mints, which necco makes). Do not like what they've done to the flavors though. They're missing something - haven't figured out which yet (they've changed to all natural). I think they might be missing cloves? Lime? At any rate, there's not as much variety now. Hope they correct this.

I love Neccos. They completely remind me of my father...his other favorites were jujubees, orange circus peanuts and dots. Strange. Even though he has been gone for a few years I still look between the cushions on the side of the couch where he would "store" his stash.

Oh, man, I thought I had blocked out my Gatorade Gum cravings!

I'm with the other posters on here. If I wanted a recipe i'd have asked for one. Bought Mario Batali's sauce last night at Food Emporium in midtown Manhattan.

"Pasta sauce, almost by definition, is fast and easy to make. Stop wasting your money on these BS, corn syrup-laden monstrosities. " Uh, there is no corn syrup or sugar added to the Batali sauces. They are incredible!

Keep you comments to facts girlie...

Reviving the thread...before she got feeble, my mom fixed a "typical" dinner one night...green beans cooked with streak 'o lean, corn on the cob, sliced fresh homegrown tomatoes and cucumber, homegrown cantalope...there may have been some "fried cabbage" (grated cabbage cooked in an iron skillet with butter, salt, pepper, a pinch of sugar and a bit of water), fried potatoes, cornbread. A po' folks' supper since it had no meat. And lots of love...I miss mama.
