This is just a joke, not male bashing. Take a deep breath and laugh, it’s funny.
As an educational side note:
History of Sweethearts®
Sweethearts® share a storied history with our legendary New England Confectionery Company- NECCO® Wafers , which isn’t surprising since their inventors share a bloodline. Daniel Chase created the first conversation hearts in 1866 by devising a machine that would press food dye letters onto the candy lozenges made famous by his brother and NECCO® founder Oliver Chase.
NECCO (New England Confectionery Company) is the oldest continuously operating candy company in the United States. It was founded in 1847 when Oliver Chase invented the first American candy machine. NECCO produces its entire assortment of candy at the company’s headquarters in Revere, MA. Popular brands include: the beloved NECCO Wafers, the Valentine’s Day staple Sweethearts, and other iconic brands such as the Clark Bar, Sky Bar, Canada Mints, Candy Buttons, Mary Jane, and Haviland Thin Mints.

I had no idea that Necco had a history here in New England. They have a shelf life of about 100 years. I guess good things to put into your storm emergency kit :p

“shelf life” comment = funny! It is just one of those little tidbits about N.E. I seem to have retained. My favorite color is the black and the pink ones. The pink is like pepto bismol..LOL

NECCO also makes these candies that are like powdery coins in a wax wrapper. Many people don’t like them but my fav is the pink because it takes like pepto bismol….LOL.. Do you not sell them where you live?

No..I haven’t seen them. If there are, they’ll be under the “imported” stuff and the prices are at least 3x higher than elsewhere.

That’s not fair. Well if you have had pepto bismol in the chewy tablet form, you have tasted the pink ones – LOL
