I spent my undergrad years at MIT, just a few blocks downwind of the New England Confectionery Company. Every morning's walk to classes was scented with the smell of Necco Wafers.

The company relocated to Everett because the building and property had become so valuable they decided to sell. A condition of the sale was that the new owners had to preserve the water tank at the top of the building, which was painted to resemble a roll of wafers. The new occupants, Novartis, repainted the tank with a DNA double helix - with base pairs colored like the wafers: pink, purple, orange, and green.
