“A beautiful, tasty ceremony”… if the stuff hasn’t frozen…

do they still sell them.??

I couldn’t stand those wax bottles! My brother loved them. :p

They do still sell them, but you REALLY have to look.

Nik-L-Nips were always tempting, but I’d only get them once in a while. Not big on chewing the wax (ditto the wax lips or whatever that odd wax pan pipe thing was). They were very low on my personal “candy to nickle” scale.

If I was rich enough I’d spring for a box of rock candy (usually 10 cents). Otherwise it was a 5 cent Hollywood Milkshake or Zero bar, followed in descending preference by a Mars bar, followed by a Clark bar, Atomic Fireballs…

At People’s Drug Stores they were 5 cents each and 6 for a quarter. The clerk would even let me slide for the penny tax on the quarter sometimes.

Darn – I’m old

Dollar tree carries them

I was partial to “Pez” in those days.

There wasn’t much to those waxed bottles, but this is sure a cute way of using one.
