New Look For Sweethearts Candy!
Posted by VickyC on January 21st, 2010
Ok, well, I kinda lied in the title, but that’s alright! Who remembers Sweethearts candy? They were the little rolls of sweets that had things written on them like “kiss me” or “be mine”.
This was all well and good. The company that produces the candy Necco, decided that they needed to update the candy to have more “modern” messages written on them. In the 90s they added “call me” and even “fax me” :s lol
But “call me” and “fax me” are to be replaced with “tweet me” and “text me” – what kid uses a fax machine?! haha
I was going to finish there, but I found these gems: Twilight Themed Sweethearts.
Oh Lord! More themed crap for the kids to buy!
These actually came out last year.. And more are planned to be released to coincide with the release of the Twilight Eclipse movie that is due to be released this summer. I’m telling you, these Twilight fan-girls are CRAZY! Don’t know if it’s a good idea to be giving these fanpires candy too!! 
Do you think Twilight is as crazy as I do?
According to a lot of sites, the Twilight Sweethearts are a little weak in the quality department – crooked faded print, some are blank – maybe only vampire eyes can read them?! Some of the text from them include: “Bite Me”, “I <3 EC”, “Lamb”, “Live 4 Ever”. The box says “Secret Scent… Rub To Reveal…”…Um….?! The box? or the candies?
And I seem to remember that these candies had “mean” things on them too.. I tried Googling it, but couldn’t find anything.. Does anyone else remember this? Or am I just crazy?
Ok I’m done. But if you would like to buy these Twilight candies, apparently they have them at Walmart. If not, then Amazon – but they’re like 4 times the price.
Or, if you buy both, you could combine them to make some funnies: “Bite Me” “Love Bug”; or “Me + You” “Fork”… ok, NOW I’m done!
Why do you think Twilight is so popular?
