More than tasted GOOD, they were the primo of all the wax candy (wax lips, etc.). Could chew a box of them right now.

I have found wax lips at Cracker Barrel, but no harmonicas....wish someone would make them. They tasted better than the lips.

I read that the original company was bought out back in the early '80s and the molds were discarded/detroyed. I agree with the others, they really tasted good. Wonder what was in them?

I remember the orange wax harmonicas. It would be nice if someone would bring them back out . It has been years and I still crave them. I eat wax lips but that don't taste as good as the harmonica.

I always wondered exactly what that crazy flavor was. I have a pretty sensitive sense of taste bu could never quite place it. Anybody know?

I'm really glad to have found this page. The orange wax harmonicas were the best. First play, then eat. They had the best flavor. Wish I could enjoy one right now.

i don't know what the flavor was in those harmonica's but i so looked forward to going to our local five and ten every Oct to get them before halloween. Funny the strange things that bring back such great memories of childhood. Happy Halloween all!!!!!

The quintessential Halloween treat! I've been looking for them for years. My children are now in college and they never had the pleasure of those incredible, edible, superb novelties! How wonderful to share the memory.

The ultimate halloween treat as far as im concern were those great orange flavored wax harmonicas! I think they cost a dime in N.Y. during their heyday and you had to stock up between the middle of Sept. until Oct. 31st, after that they were gone until next year. Let's face it " It's the great pumpkin Charlie brown", pumpkin seeds and orange harmonicas made halloween night so much fun..PLEASE SOMEONE INVENT A TIME MACHINE!!

I miss those orange wax harmonicas. The company that made those, also made a 5 pc. pack of the sweetest wax lips, that you could chew like gum. They were so good. I have been trying to make them. I wish I could find a recipe, or some company needs to bring them back, the kids( and adults) would go crazy for them nowadays

Reading everone's comments brought back all my childhood memories. Good memories that kids nowadays will never write comments like these or talk about with people who lived through this time. Does anyone remember Morton's Potato Chips that came in a gold tin can (almost like the cans that come with different flavored popcorn for Christmas season)?

OH THOSE WAX HARMONICAS WERE THE BEST. I also liked the wax lips, and wax moustache, but the harmonica was the best. You can still get the Lips at pary City, but they are .99 each and they taste slightly different.

My sister and I used to sit on the back stoop of our house and play, then eat, those yummy orange harmonicas. We loved them so much, and we were recently talking about them. Gosh, I wish I could find a pack to send to her! What a treat!

WAX HARMONICAS! My favorite. They even smelled so good I had to start eating them immediately one note at a time. I wonder too what that flavor really was. Maybe it was a concoction of toxic chemicals and we're all lucky to have survived them.

Wax Harmonicas! Oh how I loved them and wish I had some right now! They were the best,delicious in the world. I couldn't wait for them to come out around Halloween just to spend my allowance on them. The smelled and tasted soo good!!!!!! Memories

i would love to find them! a company named wack-o-wax makes lips and moustaches but they are not the same

OMG!!!! Those orange harmonicas were the best. Wasn't there a cool silhouette of a witch flying in front of the moon on the packaging? THOSE DAYS ARE GONE FOREVER

They not only tasted good they sounded pretty good too. I used to chew them one note at a time.

LOL I can't believe there are so many orange wax harmonica fans like myself! I used to look forward to them every Halloween in the mid 80's. They were so good, you could trade one harmonica for several of the "good" chocolate bars. Those were the days.

Wax harmonicas had different stickers on them. My favorite was the Haunted House. The Witch was cool, too. With so many people interested, some enterprising company should make them again!

I sadly found out that the Orange Harmonica Co was bought out in the early 80's and the molds were destroyed. How freaking sad is that! My heart actually hurt.

I'm 52 and back in the 60's and at least part of the 70's we could always find them. What a shame that they're no longer made. Kids today are really missing out on a special nostalgic treat. I'm pretty sure the flavor was clove. How could anyone be DUMB enough not to have realized the historical, cultural and emotional value those things had. So sad. Yeah, it WOULD be great if someone would make them again. How hard could it be? So many other kinds of candy we used to have back in the day can still be found, like the wax lips. At least the harmonica DID something.

I remember the wax lips, wax harmonicas and the little wax bottles with liquid inside. When I took Junior High drama, the teacher stated firmly on the first day that no gum chewing was allowed in the theater. I asked "can we chew wax?" as a joke, and everybody laughed. A few minutes later, one of the girls came up to me and asked quietly "you have some wax?"

I just found this page. Bless you people for your nostalgic sense.

Beamans gum (white packaging) smells like the old wax harmonicas and lips, though doesn't quite taste the same! The new lips just don't taste right! I try them every year, hoping that the old recipe shows up again!

LIK M AID ...SUN TARTS!!!! GOLD wrapper....woweee ORANGE HARMONICA...SUN TARTS DISOLVING IN A BOTTLE OF SUNDROP SODA...PRICELESS...bonomo'S TURKISH TAFFY,,vanilla....break it UP...

As I recall the flavor was like the checkerberries,(Galtheria?), that grew in the woods all around where I lived in New Hampshire. The leaves tasted like wintergreen, but the berries tasted like the wax-harmonicas to me. I miss both here in South Fl.

For some strange reason I was thinking about the old was harmancas today and got to thinking to myself that it must have been a false memory or something. I mean they couldn't have actually made a harmnica that you could play out of wax right? So I googled wax harmanica and found this site. At least now I know I'm not crazy and that my early childhood memory of the wax harmonica was real.

My friend bob and i have looked for years for wax harmonica but know luck we went to gift show etc. why can't they come back with them they make wax lips so that company should make wax harmonica what in ideal i want a patton on that and i want my cut for my ideal

Every place I go I always look for Wax Harmonica's (Orange in color) they were marketed more around Halloween time, but they were sold all year long. The label that you pulled off which was stuck to the wax had a witch on it dressed in black.They were available when I grew up on long Island in the 60's and in the 70's. They were working harmonica's that were made of wax that you could break off a section and chew for hours. In fact you would chew it until your jar hurt. The next day your jar was killing you, but you were a kid and you would do it again. In the past years I've found red wax lips which are okay but that orange color had a unique taste. Do you have any Idea were I can find this candy?
