But for the first time in 145 years, the company that makes Sweethearts has revamped the original recipe. The new candies have brighter colors, bolder flavors and more current expressions.

Every year I happily enjoy NECCO Sweethears, the valentines day candy with the little message hearts.
This year I thought I was going crazy, because they just did not taste the same. In fact I didn't like them. I even looked really carefully at the packaging to make sure they were the right brand.
Now I see from this NPR article that in fact they changed the recipe. Not cool, dudes.
