Conversation Candy Heart Colors

What's Your Favorite Conversation Heart Color?

February 8, 2010

Recently, we received a shipment of conversation hearts from Necco, the company that makes Sweethearts. This year, the nostalgic candies haven't just gone high tech in their messaging — they've also got completely new flavors and even a special Twilight version. As a traditionalist, I abhor the new flavors; they're too fancy. Why mess with a good thing? Growing up, I referred to Sweetheart flavors by color: the green flavor, the pink flavor, and so on. I'm devastated there aren't any minty white hearts anymore; they were my favorite. What's always been your choice color?

I agree Spectra, I just had one of my son's today and the purple is what I went for thinking it would be grape-YUCK! That was so not grape!

I am devistated that there are new flavors they gross! I went to 3 different stores looking for the right ones, and there were none. i'm so sad.

Aww, the number one flavor isn't produced any more? Now I know not to bother buying them even if they're on sale after V Day.

I always thought of these as being kind of "crap" candy. I didn't really care for them, but if I had to pick, I liked the orange ones best, followed by the green ones. I remember that I detested the purple ones because they tasted like licorice. Blech.

I eat 'em just cause it's VD tradition. I'd rather have Necco wafers if I'm gonna eat this kinda candy. Gimme the largest heart box of chocolates instead.

I agree with girlA - I am not a fan of those either and it's just a texture thing for me. Too much like chalk!!!
