Manufacturer of nasty candy shuts down. Children will no more have their hopes dashed when Grandma asks if they want some candy, then pulls out some Necco wafers.

There was nothing wrong with necco wafers. I liked the chocolate ones.

Also - you seem to be celebrating over this. I take it you're alright with workers suddenly being out of a job?

They aren't that bad quite a few flavors and it's not like there are not similar candy

It's not like they quit making Circus Peanuts . . . .

Do you have another financially/fiscally responsible solution? The company was in trouble before this last guy stepped in. Sometimes products are no longer viable.

That's all understandable however, AM gave off a rudeness given how he titled the thread.

All my grandparents died before i was born, so I've got no clue what's going on.
