    Quoted from RTS:

    I was actually serious.
    I really think Tums and Necco are the same thing. Tums taste more like chalky candy than medicine and I suspect Necco works like an antacid too.
    If you try it, you'll know what I mean.

    I played a NECCO making pharmacist on an episode of a tv show titled "Underground", I was also the prop master for the show for it's two seasons.

    NECCO was amazing with their support and sent me their recipe as well as ingredients to make several authentic batches. I can tell you it's not Tums.

    My role was cut down on the edit, but I am still the first 45 seconds.

    NECCO is a cool American company in my opinion, and yes they do make the candy hearts. A lot of memories for a lot of folks with just those two products.

    Quoted from WIZ:

    They WERE a cool Company, however put out of business because of peoples changing habit of eating sugared candies today.......
    Their Revere factory now set to be Amazons newest and largest fulfillment center outside of Boston.

    Crap, that sucks.

    I was just up there in Boston/Marblehead area shooting last nov-march. I heard about the new amazon going in....I had no idea. There's another Amazon just north of Boston 30 mins. I heard the other was much closer, is this the same?

    Haha, yeah I've been out of work for four months due to C19 shutting down my field of work, so I've had a few Tums for sure.

    I was looking through my research just now.

    NECCO started with Peerless, then Hub, then NECCO

    Peerless Wafers 1850’s - 1910?
    Hub Wafers 1890’s ? – 1930’s
    Necco Wafers 1902 – Present
