Talk:Sweethearts (candy)

message: I agree the articles should be merged, but I think the they should reside at Conversation hearts (the generic term) and Sweethearts (candy) should be mentioned as a common brand. -SCEhardT 08:50, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As the proposer of the merge, I'm not really bothered which title remains (I'm not American, so I can't really judge which would be better). However, both appeared to be covering essentially the same ground (i.e. duplicating/splitting info), and there doesn't appear to be enough to say specifically about the Sweethearts brand to warrant a separate article.

replies: text: Everyone I know calls them Sweethearts, even if they're not NECCO brand; I think the merge sounds good. --Brandon Dilbeck 05:31, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

text: I would oppose a merge as it appears that Sweethearts may predate other versions. Also, it would be like merging the MilkShake and Milky Way articles since they are quite similar in composition. Since not much has happened since this original topic was posted I assume it was decided to leave things as they are. THX1136 (talk) 21:12, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

replies: text:  Or something Homer Simpson would eat. Seriously, though, I can't find too many references to "battered sugar" online. I checked Necco's website and found this: "Both Sweethearts and the familiar NECCO Wafers use the same batter--sugar, corn syrup, gelatin, gums, coloring and flavoring." Maybe someone got confused by "batter--sugar"? I've removed "battered" from the article.kane2742 (talk) 18:21, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Can someone verify why they changed the flavors?  (imho the new ones are a bit too bitter) and Necco has enough trouble, but may go to Brachs for this one. :(  My white hearts are missing.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.149.8.37 (talk) 05:00, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: New Flavors in 2010

message: Different sections of the article claim that either 2 or 8 billion hearts are produced a year. So which is it? 77.250.43.47 (talk) 00:24, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  2 or 8 billion? 

message: It says: "In the 1990s, Necco vice-president Walter Marshall wanted to update some of the sayings and retire others, including "Call me", "Email me", and "Fax me"." Does that mean he wanted to update those three quoted sayings, or retire those three? — Furthermore, if "Email me" was a brand-new message (which seems likely in the 1990s) then it was added, not updated or retired, and the sentence is wrong.

thread_title:  Ambiguity over the changed messages 

message: The article mentions the flavors but does not name what flavors were originally available. I would assume the same flavors as used in making the Necco Wafers. Is the info not available in a form that can be cited? THX1136 (talk) 20:58, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
