Oh, why the hell not?

Apr 22, 2009 20:54

So I had some time to kill while I was waiting on multiple batches of cookies to bake (another thing for Mom's work), and starherd sent me a spare pack of those Twilight conversation heart candies, which I had said I should just go ahead and review. You know. For science! Besides, a different movie site writes about these every two weeks and then everyone ( Read more... )

twilight, sparkle motion, my mother, mail, conversations with my mother, candy, om nom nom, for science!

Considering that 75% of the main characters don't eat candy, or any other kind of people-food, mountain lions with trite declarations of love engraved on them would have been more appropriate. However, they are more difficult to package and merchandise.

At least you'd have room to spell out "You are my life" properly, though.

iamshadow April 23 2009, 03:03:44 UTC

You just wouldn't have time to read it before the lion tore out your jugular. Engraving shit on big cats just pisses them off unnecessarily. Especially if you labour over your penmanship.

It's only tangentially related.

I saw those at the Trussville Wal-mart and thought of you this weekend!

Yeah, but most conversation hearts are chalky... I just think it's hilarious that these ones sparkle.

The most lolarious part is still the flavor-naming. I mean, "Secret Strawberry?" REALLY?

The outrageous strawberry flavor is hidden within the depths of the chalk. That's why it's SUPER SECRET.

I lost it by the time I got to "Secrets of the night" on the wrapper, so anything goes.

brb, going over here to be disgruntled that they gave candy hearts to Edward when that was a Jacob thing.

(I'm Team Jacob, I want to keep the few nice things I get, you guys.)

cleolinda April 23 2009, 03:02:18 UTC

Was it? I don't remember that at all.

saramiskismet April 23 2009, 03:17:12 UTC

Heh. In the second book he gets her candy hearts for Valentine's Day. She gets him nothing. He says (basically), "Well to make up for it, you're just going to have to be my slave for life, lol." & then at some other point he offers her eternal servitude, too.

It's one of those cute before-she-jumped-off-the-goddam-cliff bits Team Jacob likes to cherish.

cleolinda April 23 2009, 03:21:41 UTC

Heh. Can you tell that was my least favorite book (mostly because I wanted to slap Bella)? I actually like Jacob--I just hate the love triangle crap. What a shitty end for you guys with the Renesmee thing, too.

*looks at the package picture*

What's with those "secrets of the night?" They're all just basic character stats.

cleolinda April 23 2009, 03:11:47 UTC

I know, right? BELLA'S DAD IS A COP, YOU GUYS, DUN TELL NOBODY.

sweet_pessimism April 23 2009, 03:20:29 UTC

Wow, I know - I was looking at those, and... Really? I'm so sure that the target audience for this doesn't already know these things.

SPOILER ALERT: EDWARD IS A VAMPIRE.

cleolinda April 23 2009, 03:23:39 UTC

Heh, seriously.
