   I’d hate to be the person who had to handle the returns at Netflix Candy.

   ...“Forks”?

   I’ve never been a fan of these things.  Oddly enough I like Necco wafers more.

   I agree with you that it appears to say “FORKS” or maybe “PORKB”.  Perhaps it’s another “I heart” saying?  I heart RKB? Is RKB someone?  I haven’t been paying any attention to the particular phenom.

   Forks is the town Twilight is set in.  I haven’t seen or read it,  I just looked it up ‘coz it seemed like an odd message for a candy.

   I’ve read all the books, seen the movie, and I still think these are totally ridiculous.  But yep - Forks, WA.

   Ok! Love them or hate them. It depends on mood I’m in.
   Thank’s

   The line “..like some sort of heart that only vampires could read” made me laugh/snort

   I’ve been reluctantly following the Twilight thing for a while (a couple friends are fans) so maybe I can shed some light on the blank ones.  Apparently the vampire guy can read every mind except for his girlfriend’s, so those could represent her unreadable thoughts.  A bit far fetched, but it could be true.

   I reviewed these too back in March. They were pretty yucky!

    Too bad they don’t taste better.  The packaging is great though!

    I just saw these in a bookstore the other night. I didn’t buy any, but I might have to. Not because I’m a big fan of the candy hearts, but because I must have all things Edward Cullen-related. Amen.

    I found these at Borders book store around the end of February. I assumed they were put out as a Valentine’s Day promotion, because the boxes at the store were marked for clearance. I’m not a fan of candy hearts, so I didn’t eat any myself, but I bought a box for a friend who happens to love all things Twilight. I didn’t ask her if she’d eaten it, though…

    I second seeing them at Borders, they are sold as a part of a general Twilight promotion, not as a DVD or holiday release.  Any store that had full on promo (book bags, shirts, umbrellas, etc.) has them.

    Well, the author did leave 10 pages blank in one of the Twilight books to show how emotionally blank the girl was without the vampire, who had left her. (Oh please.)  So maybe the blank hearts are meant to be a throwback to that crappy literary choice.  I’m glad I only heard about that and that I didn’t buy the book.  If I had been paying for a bunch of blank pages, I’d be mad!

    We’re reviewing these this week (we like our candy nice and dated).  A little Googling reveals “Forks” is the name of the town where the series is set.  Clearly these are intended for fans bigger than us

    Twilight or not I liked them better than the original versions. To me they tasted better. I bought them to harass my sister with them and she stole them because she said they tasted better. When I went back to get more they where all out!!! Darn Twilight fans. :(

    I don’t care much for the candy. I just want to know what the first peice of music was that bella and Edward listened to. I know all the rest of the fun facts. By the way the candy says Forks because that’s where both the book and the movie took place at. It’s real look it up. Forks, Washington. The Voturi live in Volterra, Italy. Also a real place. Everything in the books are real places.

    IF I HAD TO RATE THESE I’D GIVE THEM 2 OUT OF 3 STARS: THEY WERE REALLY FRUITY, AND SOFT ENOUGH TO BITE AND NOT BREAK A TOOTH,BUT MY SENTIMENTS IN (BELLA BOX) WERE NOT AS WRITTEN AND WEREN’T STAMPED ON PROPERLY. I’M A ANTI VD GAL. SO I WAS REALLY LOOKING FOR BITE ME, DAZZLE, AND ALL THOSE GREAT NON LUVY DUVY SENTIMENTS TOO.:(

    If you all claim to own all the boxes then will someone please tell me the name of the first song that Bella and Edward listened to?

    Uh, I purchased the Twilight Sweethearts and I found a white one? There are only 4 colors: Orange, Purple, Red, + Pink. Lol, I’m not sure if it was intentional? I thought it was kinda funny

    They are blank because Edward couldn’t read Bellas mind! Weird right!?
