I remember as a kid I would love buying the candy, but trade away the greens which were mint, and the blacks which were licorice.
Now they are all fruit flavored, which I agree makes more sense.
But now they also seem to apply the colors to shapes randomly.
Each shape comes in all five colors
A current box has 5 colors: red, orange, yellow, green, and black.
I think each color is always the same flavor, but I confuse easily on that.
There are six shapes shown here, but there is a seventh shape, the green one in this picture.
Of the first shapes, I think they are, by rows across:
- strawberry?, 2) [I cannot recognize this one]
- orange blossom?, 4) raspberry
- HEIDE [the original company name] 6) pineapple
7th) peas in a pod?
As you can see, I still don’t understand one of my favorite candies.
So, What was the pattern, and what is the pattern now?
