In this Griddlesode, Ron tells the story of two special people that he had the fortune of meeting while being their paperboy.

- “Kid in a Candy Store” by: Lorena Mire
- “Neighbor” by: Lacivious Biddies
- “Talk Talk Talk” by: Cheryl B. Englehardt
- “Beneath Your Surface” by: Elisabeth Lohninger Quartet
Due to the demise of The Podsafe Music Network/Mevio, we’ve removed all of the broken links and have attempted to replace them with direct links to the artist’s properties. If you are the artist and would like us to update these links, please contact us at griddlecakes*at*gmail.com.
Oh noooooo! I LOVE NECCO wafers! So they taste like pepto bizmal & urinal “mints”, I still love them. I am ever on the search for the elusive all chocolate pack. Love the story though. Thanks for the memories, I’m on the search for some now.
Keep em coming.
Thanks again
Scott (from Texas)
…no I have never tasted the urinal mints but I bet they taste just like the green NECCO’s…
Never mind NECCO Wafers. What about NECCO Sky Bars? A candy bar split into 4 sub-sections, each with its own filling (fudge, vanilla, caramel and peanut). It always puzzled me—a candy bar that just couldn’t decide what it wanted to be. I still find them in stores from time to time.
I guess if you don’t have a sweet tooth, there’s no hope for you. Had you not said that, I would have supposed that you had had a bad experience with Pepto Bismol when you were a kid.
Of course they aren’t candy, but I like those orange baby aspirins too!
Sugar used to be my favorite food group. Necco Wafers and Conversation Hearts were some of my favorite sugar delivery devices.
It’s amazing how much candy or certain foods can remind you of your childhood or better days.
