These little things can be entirely too difficult to find outside of the US, but here in
Canada I've found a handful of
novelty candy stores who stock them, albeit at a staggering mark up ($1.69 Canadian a
roll, last check). They can be worth it tho', if you get the right combination of
flavours, a thing which hasn't seem to be properly mentioned on here. They are, and always have been:
purple:
clove
pink:
wintergreen
white:
cinnamon
green:
lime
orange:
orange
yellow:
lemon
brown:
chocolate
black:
licorice
I have to agree that the chocolate ones are the best, but they're all good. Except the black ones. Even the clove one, which has raised a few eyebrows, I don't mind.
Also, apparently, in
dry weather and in the
dark, when you snap a wintergreen one in half it makes a
spark. Yet to see this happen, but even
necco.com, where the above flavours came from, verifies it.
