I Can Ignore That Raspberries Are Not Blue, But This...This Is Too Much

Dear Candy Industry,

When we go to eat colored candy, we have certain expectations - things that we, as a society, have come to an agreement on so that we can all have a safe, enjoyable experience. Principal among these expectations with regards to your particular craft is that, given a color, I will know what flavor I am about to encounter. It is this foundation, this trust, that our relationship is built upon.

Unfortunately, something went awry at some point. Someone decided that the colored candy experience was overwrought with citrus flavors. Thus began the gradual shifting of the color green - previously a pleasant, enjoyable lime - to the less favorable green apple.

This will not do.

Please, take a note from the frozen treats industry, or even your own Mike and Ike: green is lime. Always. Anything else is...well, it's just uncivilized is what it is.

Mike & Ike Candy

Sincerely,
Your Friends At Dangerously Low On Grog
