Searchin' for the Satellite Wafers...
Found in a convenience store on Huntington Avenue, on my way home this evening:
If you don't know what these are, I pity you.
They are called "satellite wafers."
I used to get these at the Penny Candy Store down the street from my house in Hull, MA. I have not seen nor tasted one since about 1981.
The best way I can describe them is: they're sort of like two communion wafers welded together and filled with candy sprinkles.
They're completely bizarre, but strangely delicious.
They were every bit as great as I remembered. I very nearly wept on the bus ride home, both from the sheer nostalgia and the knowledge that it really takes so little to make me happy.

Christamighty, those look exactly like condoms. I thought this was a pile of colorful candy condoms.
