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“.
horrid horrid horrid! the company will not answer correspondence & it seems they have no intention of bringing the old LOVED snaps back. these new ones are the worst ever & i can no longer buy them… i have to buy a knock-off brand, which is now way better (than their replacement at least).
My family all grew up on and LOVED the original snaps. We absolutely HATE the new formula and we all wrote to the company but they just issue a standard “oh well” response so I don’t think they really care. We WILL NEVER BUY SNAPS until they bring back the original version
I am 70 yrs old and have loved Snaps all my life but now I find them totally disgusting. They make me nauseous! They don’t have any licorice flavor at all. They are soft, mushy and taste terrible! I am so disappointed in them and sad that my favorite candy is now ruined. What were they thinking when they came up with this new formula?
I was extremely disappointed to eat the new snaps. They are totally different and do not even taste close to the original snaps. Snaps have been a part of my life as long as I can remember and if they don’t change it back it will not be part of my future!
WHAT HAPPENED TO MY SNAPS? The latest box I bought (last night) was a huge disappointment to me. The are NOT THE SAME! I feel like I’m just eating an ordinary piece of licorice now. There is nothing unique or scrumptious about the taste. The box says ‘Same classic taste, chewier center" or some such nonsense. Forget it. They’ve messed with the perfect recipe that I’ve enjoyed for many, many, MANY years. I’ve been robbed!!!! I don’t think I’ll ever buy another Snap as long as I live. I’m so bummed.
WHY?
