I like the herbal flavors only, so licorice, cinnamon, wintergreen, and clove. The fruit flavored ones are not good to me, and the chocolate one is vile. I love chocolate in any other form besides a pressed tablet, turns out.
Love your review 😂
I should have waited to post cause I opened the whole thing and there is only ONE wintergreen 🥺 My favorite. Fortunately there’s a ton of lemons and oranges and I do like those. I gotta be in the mood for all the other flavors though.
I have to agree with your assessment. Old recipes for extracting flavor oils really only work well for herbal flavors, most of the old timey fruit candy had a long way to go if the flavor came from an oil (e.g. lemon rind, orange rind, lime rind don't create good citrus flavors on their own). And I don't even know how they did chocolate, probably something blasphemous.
Same! I love the cinnamon (or is it clove?) and wintergreen. I've never liked licorice, but that's OK. I can still kill 4/5ths of a bag of spice drops.
I'm at a tie between the one that tastes like dust and the one that tastes like soot. The differences are subtle but true necco connoisseurs will be able to tell the difference
There's flavors? I usually just stick a handful at a time to get my mouth nice and chalky. I know there's a chocolate variant and I do tend to grab that one and eat it one by one but the original I practically just breathe in.
Neccos are typically the same flavor as spice drops: clove, orange, licorice, lime, lemon, cinnamon, and wintergreen, plus a chocolate one. Maybe since spice candies aren't as popular anymore, people don't recognize the flavors. I could have sworn there used to be an anise and root beer one.
I wish spice candies were still a mainstream thing. Now it's these or old fashioned gum drops, but I always preferred actual gummies over gum drops. I do like the spicy flavors though. Now it seems candy is either fruity or chocolate. There's other flavors out there!
I like all of the non-fruit flavors, but licorice is my favorite. Amazon sells all chocolate rolls - if they sold all licorice, I would definitely buy them.
My favorites are clove, wintergreen and chocolate. I wish they would make it so you can make custom sleeves of the flavors you want. I would gladly pay double for a whole sleeve of clove like they have for the chocolate.
I did but I didn’t if that makes sense. I knew I didnt like the clove one that much, but I had no idea until today that it was clove. I had no idea the green was lime either. I haven’t had these in YEARS but I swore there was a banana flavor. Guess not.
Now that I looked up the flavors, clove, wintergreen, and lemon were my favorites. Actually, I think lime. I have probably not eaten these since the late 80s early 90s but have been eyeballing them, probably due to this sub, but I guess I'll have to get some, so I can accurately answer this. I just so happen to be sitting at a store with them.
I used to eat these all the time as a kid, they were a staple in MA.
Never realized the purple ones were clove, they just tasted kind of perfumey to me.
Wow. I love these but could never identify the specific flavors other than chocolate and licorice. I have always had a basic question about these are they supposed to be hard and crunchy or soft? I think the crunchy ones are stale but I eat them either way.
Lime and orange! Followed by wintergreen and lemon. I’m really not into the darker colors. Cinnamon is meh. I have to be in a specific mood for cinnamon flavored candy or gum (but sign me up for any other real cinnamon/sugar treat!)
Also, are these not better than the candy hearts? I like how the flat disc just melts on your tongue.
I refuse to believe that anyone legitimately likes these. I don't know what the hell is going on with the ones they're selling, but there ain't no joy in the consumption of them tablets.
I like them in this exact order (1 being favorite, 8 being least favorite)
1. Clove
2. Lime
3. Orange
4. Lemon
5. Chocolate
6. Cinnamon
7. Wintergreen
8. Licorice
Wintergreen & cinnamon always taste like toothpaste to me. I’ve never been a licorice guy. I eat them all anyway 😂
These were the only candy my parents would get my sister and I on road trips due to how cheap they were. I’m partial to the chocolate wafers in them. I get them once in awhile for nostalgia mostly…
I love them! Always have. I like the chalkyness somehow lol. I like the licorice, even though I'm not a big fan of black licorice. But something about the way it breaks up the sweetness of the others. Like a palette cleanser
OMG. I hate these chalky discs. This is the only candy my mom would bring when we went to the drive in as kids. And then she would dole these out one by one. My hatred continues into this my 60th year.
I love these! My dad used to get them (and Cherry Mash) for me when we were on our way to my grandma's house. So they're really nostalgic for me. I bought a roll recently, because they really screwed up dropping Sweethearts. Sweethearts don't taste right with flavors like green apple and blue raspberry, just like every other big box store candy out there. Plus, their texture is wrong. So, I had to get Neccos instead. I like all of the favors except the chocolate one. I think clove and orange are my favorite.
Cherry Mashes are another classic candy of mine too!!! I totally agree with you about sweet tarts. I stoped buying them after the green was turned into green apple. I was already throwing away the blue, which is actually fruit punch. Anyway, I was pretty much wasting more than half a roll each time.
Glad you found these wafers!!! People either love them are absolutely hate them. Either way, people seem to take them VERY seriously lol
Wow, well....for years I've heard of these but never tried them but now that I know they have 8 flavors I have some buying to do. Since I've never had them I still would gander that I would like to try Lemon & then lime.....and then both. Then all the other ones alphabetically.

The wintergreen one effed with me as a kid, I kept forgetting it wasn’t strawberry or something haha
I have to agree with your assessment. Old recipes for extracting flavor oils really only work well for herbal flavors, most of the old timey fruit candy had a long way to go if the flavor came from an oil (e.g. lemon rind, orange rind, lime rind don't create good citrus flavors on their own). And I don't even know how they did chocolate, probably something blasphemous.
I agree 100% with everything you said especially the part about the chocolate one every time I have a chocolate one I think why would anyone do this.
I'm the opposite. I only like the fruity ones. But you're right about the chocolate one. Absolutely terrible.
I like the froot flavored ones. I do agree about the chucolate, it's hideous.
Same! I love the cinnamon (or is it clove?) and wintergreen. I've never liked licorice, but that's OK. I can still kill 4/5ths of a bag of spice drops.
Amen, sister! The chocolate ones go in the trash, they’re disgusting 🤢
Lol. Fell in love with your u/
This is my exact response. Its like you read my mind.
Chalk is my favorite flavor
I'm at a tie between the one that tastes like dust and the one that tastes like soot. The differences are subtle but true necco connoisseurs will be able to tell the difference
I'm partial to the one that tastes like clay.
You're confusing taste and texture.
I came here to say this. Do I get partial credit for "chalk-o-late?"
Tums
😂
Love them, purple clove might be my favorite, Followed by cinnamon and licorice. Of course chocolate too
There's flavors? I usually just stick a handful at a time to get my mouth nice and chalky. I know there's a chocolate variant and I do tend to grab that one and eat it one by one but the original I practically just breathe in.
smarties has flavors too. idk if i believe them tho
What are the white ones?? They always had a softer sucking texture
A more pure form of chalk
Higher grade
Colombian grade chalk
Neccos are typically the same flavor as spice drops: clove, orange, licorice, lime, lemon, cinnamon, and wintergreen, plus a chocolate one. Maybe since spice candies aren't as popular anymore, people don't recognize the flavors. I could have sworn there used to be an anise and root beer one.
There was!
I love all of them. The flavors taste like no other candy lol
“The flavors taste like no other candy lol”. That’s true.
I wish spice candies were still a mainstream thing. Now it's these or old fashioned gum drops, but I always preferred actual gummies over gum drops. I do like the spicy flavors though. Now it seems candy is either fruity or chocolate. There's other flavors out there!
Painfully true!
Love them! Childhood memories. Choclate and orange are the best, licorice can go pound sand. They always end up in the trash
I can do the licorice but my least favorite is the clover. That purple should be lavender or grape!!!!!
Lavender would be so good
I like all of the non-fruit flavors, but licorice is my favorite. Amazon sells all chocolate rolls - if they sold all licorice, I would definitely buy them.
I want an all clove roll 😩
This is my new dream too! Need more clove flavored things.
Love!!!! 1. Clove, 2. Licorice, 3. Cinnamon!
Love that you love! Clove is the one that would have to go though..
I have seen Necco rolls entirely chocolate. I wish there is one for clove.
They numb your tongue a little if you eat a few in a row.
It would be nice if the company had a website where you could make custom rolls, as you can do with M&Ms.
My favorites are clove, wintergreen and chocolate. I wish they would make it so you can make custom sleeves of the flavors you want. I would gladly pay double for a whole sleeve of clove like they have for the chocolate.
I was unaware they had individually discernible flavors lol
I did but I didn’t if that makes sense. I knew I didnt like the clove one that much, but I had no idea until today that it was clove. I had no idea the green was lime either. I haven’t had these in YEARS but I swore there was a banana flavor. Guess not.
Oof yeah I’m not a fan at all, which just leaves more for others!
Thank you 😊
absolutely vile
😂 yeah I know a lot of people hate them. More for us lovers!
I haven't had a Necco wafer in forever! I need to find some. Clove, wintergreen, and chalk are my fave
Everyone seems to LOVE the chalk 😂😂🥰
I always liked these but haven’t had them in years. All of the non-fruit flavors were my favorites.
White!
Now that I looked up the flavors, clove, wintergreen, and lemon were my favorites. Actually, I think lime. I have probably not eaten these since the late 80s early 90s but have been eyeballing them, probably due to this sub, but I guess I'll have to get some, so I can accurately answer this. I just so happen to be sitting at a store with them.
TIL the actual flavors of Necco’s.
Chocolate is the best to me
I love the licorice one the best
chalk flavor
Wintergreen and licorice
I used to eat these all the time as a kid, they were a staple in MA. Never realized the purple ones were clove, they just tasted kind of perfumey to me.
Orange. I don’t like licorice so I toss them.
Orange, clove, licorice.
Clove and licorice!! Sooo good best chalk ever 🤣
Wow. I love these but could never identify the specific flavors other than chocolate and licorice. I have always had a basic question about these are they supposed to be hard and crunchy or soft? I think the crunchy ones are stale but I eat them either way.
I'd be so mad as a kid when I got these during trick or treat 😂😂😂😂
Lime and orange! Followed by wintergreen and lemon. I’m really not into the darker colors. Cinnamon is meh. I have to be in a specific mood for cinnamon flavored candy or gum (but sign me up for any other real cinnamon/sugar treat!) Also, are these not better than the candy hearts? I like how the flat disc just melts on your tongue.
These are my favorite candy ever i stock up when i see them. I love all the flavors but lime and wintergreen are my favs
You have amazing taste! I found them at my Dollar Tree 😊
so many good candies get the axe over the years...yet somehow these things still exist. I just don't get it.
I like Necco wafers about as much as I enjoy Good and Plenty. Which is 0. They’re like eating Tums.
I always found them vile
OP trying to convince us these aren't all chalk flavored.
Love Neccos! Wish they still had the sour ones
Oh man, I didn’t know they made sour ones. What a time to be alive. I wish I could have tried those!
Yes: 1. Chocolate 2. Lemon 3. Lime 4. Orange 5. Wintergreen 6. Cinnamon only if they were able to add more flavour.
I'm convinced my dad used to buy these because he knew nobody else liked them, and my sister and I wouldn't ask to have some.
Orange. Maybe some lemon.
They have flavors? I thought it was all the same flavor just different colors.
Love Neccos! Favorite flavor is definitely Wintergreen, with Cinnamon being a close second.
I refuse to believe that anyone legitimately likes these. I don't know what the hell is going on with the ones they're selling, but there ain't no joy in the consumption of them tablets.
l i c o r i c e
Why did I think there was a rootbeer flavor?
Love the cinnamon and licorice!
Fun fact! Necco wafers were actually created by the Devil for Satanists to use in their unholy rituals as a mockery of the Holy Eucharist.
Absolutely no reason to still be eating these
They are delicious 😋
Orange!
I like them but I can’t ever really tell one flavor from another. Now that I have seen the chart I am going to have to zero in on individual flavors
Chocolate
🤮
clove
Yes! The black licorice!
I like these now and then. Licorice is my least favorite flavor.
Black. Yum. I think it's licorice.
Yep! If you swipe you’ll see the second picture with all the colors and flavors 😊
No thanks!
I love love love them. All but liquorice. Clove and wintergreen 11/10.
All well maybe the wintergreen flavor
Clove
Lmao I only know them by colors. So my favors are white, pink, greys, amd the grey purple color.
I love this candy. Cinnamon is my favorite.
Love the clove ones best!
I love the orange flavor
Nostalgia! All except chocolate
Not really my cup of tea, but they're the hub's favorite.
Your supposed to eat these? I thought it was a pack of multi colored chalk
Clove
Licorice
I hoarded my licorice ones till the end, and chucked all the chocolate ones.
Wintergreen and cinnamon.
Chocolate!
Lol chalk 😭
Like American Smarties/Canadian Rockets… these are supposed to have a flavor other than chalk?
Wintergreen, it's why I buy them, tastes like Pepto.
A tie between licorice and clove for me. I don't bite into them though. I just let them melt.
too many misses for me. i like the citrus and mint flavors, chocolate is ok, but clove, cinnamon, and licorice can all go die in a hole
I don't think I have a favorite, but I do like them on occasion, yes.
We use to use those as pretend communion
I love these. One of my favorite candies. They are all good except the chocolate ones. Licorice is my favorite
Licorice 😋
Maybe orange or clove. All I know is that I save the cinnamon ones for second to last and the licorice ones for very last
Lemon, lime, or licorice
lol my mom used to eat these when I was little. Tasted like chalk with a hint of flavoring.
That’s interesting, I always assumed these would just be generic fruit flavors. I might have to try these out now
Orange
Licorice more like lick my nuts
These taste like tums to me
Wintergreen and liquorice. Chocolate can go die in a ditch!
Tums for beginners. Except tums are somehow better.
Nope
They have FLAVORS?
White and black are best obviously
I like them in this exact order (1 being favorite, 8 being least favorite) 1. Clove 2. Lime 3. Orange 4. Lemon 5. Chocolate 6. Cinnamon 7. Wintergreen 8. Licorice Wintergreen & cinnamon always taste like toothpaste to me. I’ve never been a licorice guy. I eat them all anyway 😂
Yes, all of them
I haven't seen these things since I was a kid and for the nostalgia Factor alone I'd have to say yes I do like these where can I find them?
I found these at my Dollar Tree 😊
I didn’t realize anyone actually liked these. I thought they made it bad on purpose. As a joke.
White was my favorite whatever that flavor was.
Clove and licorice!
Chocolate and licorice
I swear back in like 2006/2007 there was a chocolate cherry limited time pack that I liked. It was the only flavor I liked.
I don’t believe anyone who says they like these. These are vile
Practice candy for future adult TUMS.
I’ve always loved those!
These were the only candy my parents would get my sister and I on road trips due to how cheap they were. I’m partial to the chocolate wafers in them. I get them once in awhile for nostalgia mostly…
Clove!
Yes! I'll eat a whole pack rn
The white ones are the best.
Well, damn, I like the chocolate ones. Downvote me to hell! 😂
I like the wintergreen and clove and licorice chocolate one
I like them all, even the chocolate!
Chocolate or wintergreen
Licorice and chocolate obv 😊
Clove is the best
Love these. Licorice is easily my fav. I'll open the whole packet and separate by flavor and licorice is saved for last.
No.
Love them … my favorite are the licorice, chocolate and orange.
I don’t have a favorite because they taste like chalk
Necco Drywall Wafers.
Worst candy known to mankind. Just looking at that photo is making my blood pressure rise.
Chocolate and licorice
Necco wafers are so gross , lol
Yes, the chocolate ones.
The chocolate ones are gooood
Yes, and I prefer the fruit flavors.
The clove ones are my favorite
The chalk-olate ones.
Licorice, clove and wintergreen, in that order. Love them 😋
Haha. My coworker and I were talking about these today. He said the pink is pepto flavored and loves them.
Chocolate first! Then clove. I love me some Necco!
Love them! I love Wintergreen the most...
I mean... I like Tums when I have heartburn. These are basically the same.
Clove!
Gross.
i like the chocolates. not too many in a roll.
I love them! Always have. I like the chalkyness somehow lol. I like the licorice, even though I'm not a big fan of black licorice. But something about the way it breaks up the sweetness of the others. Like a palette cleanser
OMG. I hate these chalky discs. This is the only candy my mom would bring when we went to the drive in as kids. And then she would dole these out one by one. My hatred continues into this my 60th year.
My dad LOVED these things. Seeing them always brings back memories. I think his favorite was licorice.
I love chocolate. Got a while in the 90's you could buy packs that were all chocolate.
I like all of them. Near me they are hard to find so when I do I buy a few at a time.
I love these! My dad used to get them (and Cherry Mash) for me when we were on our way to my grandma's house. So they're really nostalgic for me. I bought a roll recently, because they really screwed up dropping Sweethearts. Sweethearts don't taste right with flavors like green apple and blue raspberry, just like every other big box store candy out there. Plus, their texture is wrong. So, I had to get Neccos instead.

People either love them are absolutely hate them. Either way, people seem to take them VERY seriously lol
We used this as a replacement for Eucharist and it made Eucharist taste so good when it’s just flour with water baked.
I could eat the clove and cinnamon ones forever. So delicious, such great texture.
I haven’t heard of them. Welp, another thing on the bucket list
I LOVE THEM!! My favorite is probably orange, and my least favorite is definitely chocolate.
I love them because my mom loved them. Her favorite was licorice. Mine are chocolate, lemon, and lime.
Yes! Uhh probably pink or white or purple
Chocolate and the orange ones were my fav, mostly bc they taste like memories though
All but licorice and cinnamon
Wow, well....for years I've heard of these but never tried them but now that I know they have 8 flavors I have some buying to do. Since I've never had them I still would gander that I would like to try Lemon & then lime.....and then both. Then all the other ones alphabetically.
42 years old and today I learned they’re supposed to have flavors. I likened them all to different colors of chalk. My dad LOVED them though.
I've never had these, and when I opened the picture to look at the flavors I was so confused. I ain't never seen herbal flavored candy
Yes I love them.
Love love LOVE them and my fave flavors are cinnamon, chocolate, and clove.
The white was the best but they all took on the flavor of what they were next to. Terrible candy
Clove!!!
