Below are two images. Although they look very similar, they are for two completely different products.
The first image is the regular kind of Brach’s tiny conversation hearts Valentine’s Day candy. I really like these a lot, and have been enjoying them for years.
The second image is Brach’s new “Heart 2 Heart” tiny conversation hearts. These are horrible. The have close to zero flavor. It’s not that they taste bad – it’s that they barely have any taste, period.
I bought the bad kind because I didn’t know how horrible they were. I mistakenly thought the only difference was that there was a message on both sides instead of just one side. I won’t make that mistake again.
I have since cleansed by palette with the good kind.
Yes. I’ve already fallen victim to the new ones.
Pretty deceptive Schiff, if you ask me...!
First world problems.
This is the first world. We earned the right to have frivolous concerns. What’s your beef?
I don’t like the big ones, so the small ones must be bad
Do you perhaps have any inside intell on Jujyfruits?
Thanks for your service!

Which one is Stefanie Powers?
Carbohydrates instead of the other way around.
When do the #Metoo candies come out?
Don’t care for candy hearts at all.
All I want to know is what kind of sugar are they using, and how to they get a hold of the large quantities?
Cane Sugar? Saccharine? Nutrasweet? Stevia?
Big Sugar, and all their Labor Unions are watching!
You mean the Sour Grapes Brand?
I don't remember them ever having flavor.
They're one half-step above candy corn and marzipan.
Solution: don’t eat it.
Good grief. Just cancel every holiday. Between liberals and yes conservatives, we just can’t enjoy a single holiday without some BS politically correct nonsense.
I’m still bummed by Coca-Cola and Pepsi switching from cane sugar to corn syrup. And that’s been like 40 years ago.
I always thought they were leftover candy cigarettes.
Those had more flavor. At least you could taste the sugar.
You can find "Mexican" Coke everywhere with real sugar (and the old Coca-Cola taste) in glass bottles. Pepsi has made a "Real Sugar" can for about 5 years now, but nothing would ever make me drink a Pepsi. Fam likes it.

The Necco hearts were good. I liked the white ones. Wintergreen taste.
