Nik 'L' Nip is a Candy that gives you a drink and a chew! It's shaped like a wax bottle and is filled with a fruity tasting liquid. This retro candy goes way back, it has been around since the early 20th century. The name came to be from the combination of the original cost (a nickel, $0.05) and the preferred method of opening wax bottles, to nip (bite) the top off. The top can be chewed like gum, but not really meant to be swallowed. But if accidentally swallowed, the wax in Nik 'L' Nip bottles are food-grade and non-toxic.
