With Necco wafers, you need to masticate like a motherfuck.

It this is a double post, I apologize. I tried to post it a half-hour ago, but it doesn’t appear on the board. I think I made a mistake somewhere in posting it, so I’m trying again.
Anyway, for nostalgic reasons I am trying to find a candy mint that was popular in the 1960s. I have looked for them in several stores and on several of the internet sites that sell “old-time” candy, but I can’t find it. Maybe it is still being sold and I am just not looking in the right places.
The candy in question was a round, flat, solid mint, about one and one-half inches in diameter and one-quarter inch thick. One side was smooth and one side was ridged. They came in a long (eight inches) narrow box with a cellophan side so that you could see the mints which were in the box stacked on their edges. Each box had ten white mints, ten yellow mints, ten green mints, and ten pink mints. They melted in your mouth and were incredibly sweet. I suspect they were mainly sugar and a little coloring. But I loved them.
Does anyone else remember them? Can anyone tell me where I can find them?
If you ever still check this message, I am pretty sure you are talking about merrimints … and I love them. I have only found them online at 2 places – Olivers in Batavia, NY and The Vermont Country Store.. Good luck

Unfortunately, the OP died last October.
And those sites were mentioned in posts 6 & 7.
