I feel old...

I havent eaten Swizzels Matlow's Love Heart sweets since goodness knows when, probably school, but I noticed yesterday they've become veggie, so happily I bought a packet for old times sake.
But...
The little messages have changed so much -Text Me? Email? Luv U 24/7? Thats awful! And there wasnt a single simple 'I love You' in the packet, they all seemed very unloving and a bit too cool for school!

These sweethearts just do not compare with the messages in my day such as darling be mine, love you forever, kiss me...somehow the modern version has lost the romance lol!

[brett currie]

i agree with cindy--but the photo is stil great! :)

[Melissa Pike]

I noticed the same thing with the candy hearts we get here around Valentines Day. They all have such silly messages now. I guess they have to change with the times, huh? Love this shot!

[Brad Johnson]

One day my kids will be saying, "I remember when the little hearts used to say, 'text me', and 'luv you 24/7'...they just don't make them like they used to. :)

How'd they taste?

"...and the times, they are a-changin'..."

[Tracy Watkins]

love it!!

[Lauren Dahlhauser]

oh the world has changed....but really great focus :) I love this!

[Isla Wight]

Goodness how 21st century - I suppose they do have to move with the times ... I think today's kids are harder-nosed somehow or that's probably just my age ...

"You alone"? How harsh! Hahaha. Awesome shot! I love your use of focus, and the colours are great.

[Jenna Richards]

Wow those are terrible! How romantic! Great shot though.

[Gen Erispe]

beautiful subject.. but i agree with you on the messages..

[Susan McIntyre]

Creative idea, and great photo. I will look for veggies hearts.

[Amanda Smith]

I guess even when they fall short in taste and text they at least photograph well!

[Kim Bitner]

haha, yeah the messages are definitely not what they used to be. I have such sweet memories of these candies though, thanks for sharing!

[Barbara Eder]

Oh dear, what a mess! Don't like the new texts either and it must have been at last a thousand years since I bought them. Very good photo.

An awesome find -- I'm with you; I like the "old" sayings.
But I guess they make what the kids (and adults) today say to each other......
GREAT idea for an unusual photo.

[Sarah-Jane]

Love they are back but don't like that they've made candy into a form of technology....what the!!

[Rachel Callison]

I agree. I liked them better when they had the old sayings on them
