How Sweetheart candy hearts are made

Perhaps this has already happened, and NECCO Wafers are not made but mined, dredged up from a rich vein of discs that were deposited on a young, molten Earth after drifting for countless aeons through the deeps of space.

Actually they are composed of a metamorphic rock formed from the interface between treacle deposits and chalk.

Nonsense - they’re shock crystals caused by the sixth Elephant (the one that missed the Disc) smashing into the Jam Butty mines.

I always assumed they came from here…

Do they still have “FAX ME?” I think that was in the first round of modernization.

My dad proposed eating a roll of NECCO wafers in the dark and trying to guess the flavors. Good times!

FTFY.

Isn’t the real question why candy hearts are made?

[nimelennar]

Nah, that one’s simple: Late stage capitalism.

The wife gave me a box of little individual packets so that I am less likely to binge.

Mine just figured that that would end up with a lot of little packets empty (and a lot of waste material) really fast and figured that the tide just wasn’t worth opposing. (still riding the wave of chalky sugar high!)
