This was a rather interesting candy Necco sold. Apparently their candy came in a variety of shapes.

Their products are still featured in many movies. Those small hearts with sayings on them are a product of NECCO (New England Confectionary Company).

The location of the factory may explain why so many MIT students are crazy. They were on a constant sugar high as the factory was operating 24 hours a day and the fumes engulfed the campus. I am sure all of the wild stunts by the seniors every year can be traced back to that.

The NECO building in Revere Mass. Is now another Amazon warehouse. The original NECO factory building in Cambridge Mass is a pharmaceutical manufacturer Novartis

My Grandfather told me this candy came in a variety of sizes. The minis were called "mosquito bites" and they went up in size from there...Fried Eggs, Cupcakes, Cans, Party Hats, Torpedos, Jugs, Melons, Gazongas and last but not least Jawbreakers.
