Thanks for letting us know what happened Wacky Wafers. I’m 50 years and I still remember how they tasted and wished Nestle would bring them back… I, for one, would stock up!

I just emailed Nestle. I do google wacky wafer every few months to see if they are back. Too bad I bet these would bring in allot more revenue than the bottlecaps. They are so much better! Mmmmmm Banana!!!!

I to was a lover of Wacky wafers. I found this website after searching for my two favorite gums as a kid.. Bub’s Daddy and Freshenup.. I found freshenup at the Crakerbarrel this past weekend and it brought back so many childhood memories… Wacky Wafers/Bubs Daddy/Freshenup gum and sunflower seeds was all i needed as a kid and my fm radio and my banana seet bike!! If you are a Bubs Daddy fan… you will be happy to know they still make it under the name of Super Bubble and sold in stores… If Wacky Wafers ever make a come back… I will stand in line overnight to get my hands on the best candy ever made.. Isnt it funny the world is being ran by people born of the 50′s and 60′s and yet .. hello where is the candy and fun things we grew up on… Bring it back-Bring back the good times!!!! :)

Loved these as a kid, but they were large wafers – about the size of a stack of 3 half dollar coins. Green Apple, Banana, Watermelon, and Tangerine. This was before they came out with the chewy ones.

I was just sitting at the computer, and a craving hit me for something sweet. Made me think of the days when you could buy Wacky Wafers. I decided to google it and found this site. I’m so glad I’m not alone that this was the most awesome candy ever! I’m emailing Nestle for sure. Please everyone else do that as well and we’ll see if they bring it back.

A bunch of us 30 somethings were talking about this delicious candy at work. I thought for sure I could find them if I googled them. I was devastated to find out they do not make them. I am joining the cause to bring this candy back!!!
