Sweethearts Conversation Hearts "Forbidden Fruits" Twilight

Necco

The good thing about this review is when I post it people will think I'm hip. They'll look at this "Twilight" box and figure that I'm down with all the cool things that kids are into. The problem is in a few years people will forget about Twilight and come to this review and see how out of touch I am. The really bad point to all this is I really don't even know what "Twilight" is. I'm hoping it has something to do with really tasty candy hearts.

The thing about Sweethearts is I don't really mind the original ones; they're tasty and not too complicated. Some people complain that they're too chalky but that doesn't bother me at all. These ones on the other hand seem to try a little too hard. The flavours are Orange Obsession, Tempting Apple, Secret Strawberry and Passion Fruit. They all taste ok, even the apple, but there’re a little perfumy for my liking, particularly the passion fruit. Worst of all they don't really taste like the fruit that they're trying to re-create.

The other fault that might not be a fault as much as ignorance to the movie, is the messages on the hearts. They're a few standard type love messages, but there are also a few I just don't get. I just ate a heart that said, "Lamb" on it.
