It all started for us in 1875 when Herman Charles Wockenfuss was born in West Prussia, Germany. He came to America in 1885 and eventually learned how to make candy. In 1915, he proudly began the Wockenfuss Candy Company, known today as Wockenfuss Candies.
Wockenfuss is a German surname. Notable people with the surname include: John Wockenfuss (1949–2022), American professional baseball player and manager. Klaus Wockenfuss (born 1951), German chess master.
But they eventually grew out of that space, and built and opened a factory on Caton Avenue in Baltimore in 1955, where the candies are still being made.
Nonpareils are a decorative confectionery of tiny balls made with sugar and starch, traditionally an opaque white but now available in many colors. They are also known as hundreds and thousands in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and the United Kingdom.
Lilliput and Blefuscu are two fictional island nations that appear in the first part of the 1726 novel Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift. The two islands are neighbours in the South Indian Ocean, separated by a channel 800 yards (730 m) wide.
The gesneriad (pronounced either “guess-NARE-ee-ad” or “jez-NARE-ee-ad”) family contains over 3,200 species of plants. The best-known member of the gesneriad family is the African violet (Saintpaulia).
