candy FAIL
Feb. 16th, 2011 09:25 pmMy favorite candy in the world? Necco wafers.
My second favorite candy in the world? Necco conversation hearts. Especially the yellow ones.
Now see, lately there's been a bunch of other companies making competing versions of the hearts. Last year I didn't manage to find *any* real ones, so this year when I spotted them in Target, I bought two great big bags. Ooooh, happiness! It was all I could do to resist popping a bag open in the car and shoveling them into my mouth on the drive home, that's how excited I was.
Oh, but... no. Apparently last year Necco changed the flavors, and they are now AWFUL.
How awful? "It's candy," you say. "Awful is relative, right?"
This is how awful:
I tried offering them to the twins as special treats whenever they'd sit on the potty (which they were doing fairly frequently up until that point) and now if I try to get them to even go *near* the potty, much less sit on it, they CRY.
That's some serious candy-FAIL. Necco: we make toddlers cry and wet themselves.
(If they fuck with the wafers, *I'm* gonna cry.)
