Necco Is Crap

It's time, once again, to buy Valentine's Day candy. And, don't get me wrong. I don't have a Valentine. The candy is for me. I have no problem with this. It means I don't have to share, and I'm OK with this. But every year, I have to ask Carol what the best kind of Valentine's Day candy hearts are. I can never remember.

I was in Safeway the other day and I figured I'd get a bag and risk it. (I hadn't checked with Carol). I bought two bags of those Necco hearts and they are crap. Just total garbage. They' as hard as concrete and they taste like @ss. I despise those things. I threw them out back and even the deer won't eat them. They're starving and their ribs are sticking out and they won't touch the Necco hearts.

So, once again, I consulted Carol on the Valentine's Day heart issue. The conversation went like this:

Me: "What kind of valentineʼs candy is the good kind? I can never remember."

Carol: "Brachs conversation hearts baby!! Necco sucks."

Me: "I bought two bags of this Necco crap yesterday. Total sh1t."

Carol: "Not sure about your area, but on the West Coast I can usually only find Brach's at Target now. Seems like all the drugstores carry Necco."

Now, for clarification, here in Colorado, the Safeway's carry the Necco Crappo. Target stores don't have any Valentine's Day candy in yet (WFT?). King Soopers has the Brach's Small Conversational Hearts. I got four bags tonight, but I'm not as neurotic as Carol(who is?)....I don't separate them into little piles and eat them color by color. But I do miss her and her charming little quirks. Thanks for the tip, Carol.

Now, if I can just get my sister to tell me which candy canes are best.
