Oh, yeah, I figure I'm good for about six years after a little bag of
those containing maybe six. If I go for seven years, though, I am

My mother claimed to have been the victim of an attack of spontaneous
combustion or, more likely, one of those airborne sugar explosions you
sometimes get in candy factories, while snapping a Necco Wafer in half
(because they used to be larger, and maybe it was a Catholic thing,
too) some time around 1924...
I suppose it's better than eating them...
