      Same. I was wondering how on earth those chalky semi-tart discs were anything like chocolate.

      Wait… Am I confusing them with Sweet Tarts? 🤔 One is a taffy in a Skittle like candy shell and the other is disgusting crap.

        I think you may be triple confusing SweetTarts™ (chalky semi-tart disks) with Smarties™ (chalky sweet but oddly flavorless disks) and Spree™ (not as chalky, candy coated disks) which these days are more often encountered as Chewy Spree™ (Chewy candy coated disks.)

        And we haven’t even mentioned Necco Wafers™ (big ol’ chalky disks) nor Giant SweetTarts™ (big ol’ semi-tart chewy disks)!

          We just love candies that are press pull format

          Also isn’t there “shock tarts” as well

            Yes! I haven’t seen those in a good long while but I loved those so much. I think they still exist though. (Sour candy coated chewy disks, of course, for those unfamiliar.)

              The glands that produces saliva in my moth were clogged due to infection. I took one shock tart and put it on the tip of my tounge .

              The relief I felt when it cleared out is unbelievable. Shock tarts are a medicine lol
