V-Day

[furtech]

Happy Valentines Day/Singles Awareness Day! I wish I had a sweetie to plan adventures with, but for now I'll settle for a couple of border collies that smell like Placerita Creek. (<--kind'a moss-y)

The worst part about this years V-Day: THEY CHANGED THE FLAVOR OF THOSE CHALKY-HEART CANDIES! Instead of tasting like sugar with a hint of flavor, conversation hearts now taste like bathroom cleaner! (Or what bathroom cleaners smell like.) Augh! They're *awful* now! The only upside is that I won't binge on them anymore. I hate it when they "fix" something that isn't broken!

They did WHAT to the classic Valentines Day candy hearts?!?!? :O Is nothing sacred??

Guess I'll only be buying this kind now:


(A local store had 5 types of plush dog toy squeaky hearts, so Leila made out like a bandit:
Purple: "Puppy Love"
Orange: "I [pawprint] You"
Green: "XOXO"
Yellow: "Woof"
Pink: "Sloppy Kisser")

Those are excellent!

"I hate it when they "fix" something that isn't broken!"

That sums it up for like WAY too many things!

I never thought those candies tasted good to begin with. Happy V-Day nevertheless.

Well, I liked them. It's like when they changed Coke's formula-- what mentality is it in companies that makes them change something so traditional? If you're going to do this, call them something else to see if that -is- more popular or not.

[oats-a-plenty.livejournal.com]

that's a good comparison. Coke my cola of choice.

They're disgusting regardless, but I wonder why they changed them? I like the Sweet Tart ones though, they're pretty okay.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I know! Like how they "fixed" plum baby food so that it's made with appples and not sugar. What's the point in me eating it? Oh wait..it's for babies...

[furtech.livejournal.com]

What were they thinking?? Those darn babies don't even -know- what good food is (or they wouldn't eat most of the stuff made for them). I mean really-- Zwieback? How could anything made of pure carbs taste so horrid!

We have similar sweets here called Love Hearts: http://www.adgiftsonline.com/AddProdImages/465_34069_l.jpg

They are delicious!

They may be called Smarties in the US. Which confuses me because we have Smarties here that are chocolate in a shell.

I've actually had Love Hearts-- but didn't care for them. Too hard, smooth and the flavors were a little to strong for me. What I liked about the Brach's Conversation Hearts was their subtle taste and texture. (It's a totally personal/subjective thing!)

So now they taste like urinal mints? :D

[furtech.livejournal.com]

Actually, yeah-- one of the flavors tastes like what urinal mints smell like (I've never actually tasted a urinal mint that I know of...)




...He-eeeey! How do YOU know what urinal mints smell like??!! Sneaking in the boys room, eh?
