18. Lucky you! Here are some cool facts
1. NECCO Wafer rolls contain 8 flavors and colors: lemon (yellow); orange (orange); lime (green); clove (purple); cinnamon (white); wintergreen (pink); licorice (black); and chocolate (brown).

2. In very low humidity NECCO Wintergreen Wafers spark in the dark when broken.

3. NECCO Wafer Rolls have always been a naturally fat and sodium free product.

4. In excess of 4 billion NECCO Wafers are sold each year. This is enough to completely encircle the world twice if placed edge to edge.

5. Over 120 NECCO Wafers are consumed every second of every day throughout the entire year.

6. In the 1930's Admiral Byrd took 2 1/2 tons of NECCO Wafers to the South Pole, practically a pound a week for each of his men during their 2 year stay in the Antarctic.
7. The original Mary Jane Company was founded and manufactured in Paul Revere's former house in Boston, MA.

8. Conversation Hearts, originally called Motto Hearts, were created in 1866 by Daniel Chase, brother of Oliver Chase the founder of NECCO.


9. NECCO manufactures 8 billion sweethearts which are sold between January 1 and February 14.
10. On an average day well over 6 miles of Haviland Thin Mints are manufactured.

17. Illinois Tolls
If you roll them into tolls in IL it tricks the machine because it is the size of a quarter. I have never tried it but heard it has been long rumored that it does work.
