Quality Control took Valentine's Day off

Every year as Valentine's day approaches and in the weeks following I become addicted to Sweethearts. There really is no explanation for it, the texture equivalent of chewing chalk.

One thing I noticed this year, during the consumptions of pounds of these talkative little treats was, Necco's quality control department must have taken the holiday off. I could only read the message on about one of every four hearts out of the box. Some of the "ink" was way off center, others were pock marked, some completely blank, and others were cracked in half.

Below is a sampling of a single box (they all looked like this), I didn't pick the bad ones out, I just poured them out and flipped them over:

But seeing as this is about the only time of year these things are relevant, I can understand why half-assing them might be acceptable, oh wait, no... I can't.

A point of contention [QotD]

I find myself constantly having to defend my stance on this position. I try to be open-minded of other people's points-of-view and take the time to hear their side of the argument, but on this one point I have stalwart conviction: Twizzlers are far better than Red Vines. Like most arguments these days I have no good facts or evidence to back up this claim, I just know it.

But which do you prefer? Write a comment to defend your candy of choice.*
