Candy hearts, weirdly, are just as much subject to whims of popular culture as everything else. As the Valentine’s Day market has exploded, companies producing these chalky tasting novelties have struggled to maintain relevance in a sea of Justin Bieber holiday cards. Seriously, go look at a bag–they have messages like “You Rock” on them now.
This, however, has crossed the line. A 12-year-old in North Highland, CA (outside of Sacramento) found a dirty pink heart in a bag full of otherwise innocuous candy messages of love. The heart reads “Nice t***.” As the local newscast who covered it put it, the blurred out word “refers to a woman’s chest.
Said the 12-year-old who found the heart, “I thought it was kind of shocking.” Yep. The family returned the bag to the manufacturer, who promptly apologized, insisting that its candy usually doesn’t work blue. Video of the family after the jump.
