It will be Valentine's Day soon and that means heart shaped everything is filling the shelves in all the stores.
My favorite heart shaped candies are these Conversation Hearts. Partly because I'm a sugar addict and they are basically just a sugar lump and partially because they remind me of my childhood. Whether in a large bag or an individual box, however they came, I always loved them.
See what I did ? I love them so much and I love YOU so much, that I created a Valentine's love message to you out of them. ❤️
There are not many things in this life that I am a snob about. I know, being a snob is wasted energy, but once in a while there is a thing or too that one just MUST be snobby about. This is one of them for me. It has to be these exact hearts. No Brach's, no store brand, no.. no ...NO ! Just these !
The name and recipe used to belong to Necco, but they sold out... SOLD OUT! How could they ??.... but they did sell out to Spangler. As long as they make them the same, what difference does it make you ask, well, none really, except that it took Spangler several years to get it all back up and running again so for a while they were nowhere to be found. Finally though and thankfully, they are out in full force all over the place again.
So now, to make sure they are the real thing, you have to see this Spangler name on the back. You must !
Spangler did take a liberty and add blue ones, which were not there before. They call it blueberry, but thankfully they do not taste like blueberries, so they don't have to go in the trash. My tongue doesn't like blueberries, but that is another story... quirk... something...
They also cheated a little bit in that they only put "sayings" on about half the hearts. I forgive them for that though, since they have the flavor and consistency right now.
I know sugar is not good for you and it is somewhat of a crime against oneself to love it so much and eat it endlessly.... but still.....I'm supposed to resist these? Perish that thought ! I simply can't resist.
🤣
Now that I've reminded you that Valentine's Day is on the way, you can't say you forgot to get your Sweetie Pie a token for the day. Anything is better than nothing.
I know what I'm talking about on this one.
It's Saturday, I haven't done a valid thing all day... yet... but I will... I think I will... ok, I might.
