Is the difference subtle or substantial?
I love licorice snaps.
You could say I acquired a taste for them. Black licorice is my absolute favorite candy, so I’m always up for a new licorice adventure. The first time I ate Snaps, I thought I hated them. I thought they tasted like paint. But they had a tough toothiness that made them kind of irresistible. By the time I finished my first box, I was hooked. I don’t know what that paint thing was about. I love them.
A Troubling Tip
At CandyFavorites, a customer recently brought it to our attention that he noticed a difference in his Snaps. While the bag said “same great flavors, softer, chewy center,” the taste he loved was gone. Saying that the change was far from an improvement, he likened it to what happened with the new Coke.Watch movie online The Transporter Refueled (2015)
The New “New Coke”?
As a newly minted lover of Snaps, I was alarmed and tasted our latest shipment immediately. I felt like I could savor the old snaps, and these feel somehow less substantial and harder to hold onto. I’m able to go through a pile of them much more quickly than before. Which raises the point that I still enjoy them. I feel safer since the recall. But, as these things usually go, something seems to have been lost. I believe that luck does play a role in success, and striking just the right balance can make magic. That’s what I believe has happened with snaps. They’re still very good. They’re just not quite “The Original Licorice Snaps“.
How can we get the manufacturer to go back to the original formula for SNAPs!
I hate the new formula for SNAPs and wish the manufacturer would listen or look at their sales records to see that everyone hates the new formula.
I started eating Snaps back in the 1950s. They were sold in boxes. At the time, I thought how appropriately they were named because when you bit into them they would snap apart in your mouth. In other words the licorice was dryer than what’s in the product today. I bought a bag yesterday and found the licorice very soft and chewy, e.g. stick to your teeth chewy!!!. Sorry, you’ve now lost me as a customer because I dislike the new product so much.
Disgusting! That is my reaction to the new Snaps formula. They have no business to advertise same great flavor on the packaging as it is grossly different and just plain GROSS! I will not purchase these again (so sad).
I love the old snap enough to actually reply. I purchased some at Walgreens. They had ‘Same great taste’. Ha what a joke. They destroyed there product. I wrote the company and never obtained a response. I also wrote Walgreens. Since I last tried the ‘New Snaps’ Walgreens at least in my area no longer carries them. It is sad when some young snot at a company destroys the product. Unless they go back to the old Snaps I will never buy them again.
