I have always loved Valentines Day, especially for the CANDY! My favorite is sweethearts or conversation hearts made by Necco. I start buying them when they hit the stores after Christmas and make sure to buy in BULK BABY! But this year, I am very dissapointed. It seems Necco has decided to "modernize" the classic candy hearts...and it turns out to be for the worse. :(
I loved the pleasant, sweet, yet subtle taste of the sweethearts before, and the texture agreed with me. Now, all hearts come in bright (almost toxic looking colors) and gross fruity tangy flavors like: sour apple, blue raspberry, lemon, orange, grape and strawberry- then they crumble into a soft powdery substance in my mouth, Kory (the human garbage disposal) didn't like them either. I noticed the packaging was a little different but shrugged it off thinking they updated it to appeal to kids but wouldn't think Necco would ever mess with a traditional, American favorite. I bought two big bags before I tasted them and now I want my $1.98 back!
I have looked in numerous stores for the original candy but have yet to find them...my Valentines Day is ruined this year. But I didn't let my disappointment go un-noticed, I emailed a complaint to Necco and waiting for an explanation for such a drast change on my favorite candy. If you agree with me on the change, visit Necco.com and file a complaint in the 'contact us' section.
Can you tell I am passionate about my candy?
