unsinkable Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I treated myself to a bag of Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares Holiday Limited Edition Assortment. In years past, the assortment included: Eggnog, Peppermint Bark, and Pecan Pie. I ASSumed that it was the same assortment but, oh, no, my friends, oh, no. This year it is: Eggnog Peppermint Bark and.... wait for it........................ Pumpkin Spice Caramel! :crying: :cursing: I WANT MY PECAN PIE GHIRARDELLI CHOCOLATE SQUARE!!!

Desert Rat Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Oh, the horror! Thanks for letting me know. I buy these for my mom every year. I'd better go check the package! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 :drool5: I do know how it is when you are all set for a special treat and then they've changed it on you. Imagine if you will, unsinkable in her bed, watching her crappy TV (real housewives, oh, I blush to admit that!) all snuggled in, expecting a crunchy pecan yum-yum. And CARAMEL oooooooozed out into my mouth. Because of course I didn't READ the flavor. Because the package was BROWN, the same color as the pecan pie square of yore. :scared: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggieamy Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I hate oozy chocolates. Now chewy caramels I could get behind but the oozy ones ... yuck. I hope someone got severly reprimanded for allowing that to be made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivka Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 :grouphug: I will light a candle for you. Some people might make light of a tragedy like this, but I once unwrapped a nice little lollipop and stuck it in my mouth and it turned out to be BUTTERED POPCORN FLAVOR. Which is why I have trust issues. So I understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinder Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 This reminds me of when Starburst stopped making the lime flavor. I still grieve. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been, like, ten years, and I can still call up how awful it tasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justLisa Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I really hate when I get used to something and then I can't find it. Right now it's WHITE taco shells.

dbmamaz Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 oh, this reminds me of one valentines - i knew exactly what i wanted, the heart-shaped milk chocolate truffles . . i'd bought one on sale after v-day one year and HAD to have some more! i told dh i wanted them, but we were fighting and he got the flu so he didnt do ANYTHING. and the next year they didnt make them any more!! so mad!!! oh, or when I was in college and told myself if i went a full week without missing a class i'd buy myself some fudge at the fudge shop, and i went all semester without succeeding. a year later, i was 6 weeks in to the semester without missing a class, and i remembered and ran to the fudge shop . . which had closed. chocolate . .. dont mess with our chocolate!

SunnyDays Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Ick. I do happen to like caramel, but with pumpkin?? No thanks. I hate it when there's ONE flavor in the package that no one will eat. Oh, and Lisa I hear you on the white taco shells. I don't know why I like them so much better than the yellow.

gardenmom5 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I grew up with frango's chocolates. they were developed at our local high end retailer (back when nordstrom was nothing but a shoe store). then frederick and Nelson was bought out by marshall field. then freddies was sold and closed, and another store, since purchased by macy's, got the recipe. so, macy's ended up with the trademark name. we were in another state at a macy's and they were advertising frangos . . . . . . THOSE WERE NOT FRANGOS!!!!!!!!!! :cursing: (they were awful. I want my real frangos back.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pippen Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I just opened my package yesterday. That pumpkin spice was disgusting. Next year I'm skipping it and doing straight up peppermint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I'm not sure how I feel about the combo of pumpkin + chocolate to begin with, but maybe it might work. Pumpkin + chocolate + caramel = :ack2: :ack2: :ack2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 WHAT? They quit making lime starburst? This is like the fall of a favorite Crayola. Have you been to eBay? Yes, I'm old enough to remember the fall of lime. It was the late 70's. I remember because one of the girls at school made a big fuss because lime was her favorite. It was replaced with cherry. I wish they'd replaced orange. Does anyone really like orange starburst? I just checked ebay--no lime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
