Back in 2009 Necco revamped their 145 year old Necco wafers by going all-natural with the ingredients. This meant not only dropping artificial colors and flavors, but they also discontinued lime since they could not make it naturally.
Well, a scant two years later, the original (or at least pre-2009) version is coming back to store shelves. This little ad to the right is from June 2011, so your store might have them in stock now. (Of course some stores I visit never stopped stocking them, as they have a very long shelf life.)
So it turns out that some candy companies do listen to their customers, so never forget to let them know when you don’t like something ... or when you do.
(Personally, I preferred the All Natural version.)
SUPERB

Now if Necco would bring back their old valentine’s conversation hearts. I miss them.
cat….i was gonna leave almost the EXACT same comment! haha
i think perhaps if they brought back the old wafers, its a good possibility that we will see the original conversation hearts on the shelves this valentine’s day….one can only hope!
I hope they bring back the tart wafers, too.
I’m echoing Cat and Synesthesia and I feel a little hopeful about Valentine’s Day.
Bummer! I liked the natural ones much better.
Oh, I add my hopes (and dreams and longings) that they bring back the old SweetHearts.
I was SO DISAPPOINTED last year with the nasty new ones.
Glad to know that I’m not alone. ^_^
Now, if we were to do an “Old Conversations Hearts” dance (like a rain dance), how would we do that?? Hmmm.
I like the all-natural ones better also. :(
I like the old, but really, why can’t they make both?
