Candy of the Day - Nik-L-Nips

Remember those little, liquid filled wax bottles? Nik-L-Nips are a candy that came into being in the early 20th century and their name comes from their original cost (a nickle) and the way you get to that liquid (nipping the top off the bottle). I always found Nik-L-Nips interesting in the same way I find a lava light fascinating. That liquid inside seemed to make them special, at least to look at. Taste-wise? Well, they are made of wax.

By the way, it's interesting that Nik-L-Nips come in a replica of the Coca-Cola "skirt" bottle which also first appeared in the early 1900s.
