Sweetheart Changes! (disturbingly)

So Sweethearts have been my favorite candy for a long time. I'm not completely sure why, but I know it's not the taste.

This year (maybe it started last year) there have been a lot of changes to Sweethearts. All of the flavors have been revamped. Green is now green apple. They got rid of white and replaced it with blue: blue raspberry. Purple is grape (not sure what it was before...maybe it was trying to be grape?), and now pink is different and unidentifiable.

The other big change is what the Sweethearts say. Here are some examples from the bag I have in my desk right now:

Game On
1 on 1
Shake It
Text Me
Win Me
Play Time
Play Now
Race Me
Time 2 Dance
You Rock
Reach 4 It
Go Go Go

For some reason, I find this highly disturbing. I'm just imagining people having a conversation with these hearts:
Girl: Play time
Boy: Play now?
Girl: 1 on 1...
Boy: Game on!
Girl: Win me.
Boy: Race me.
Girl: Go go go, reach 4 it!
Boy: Shake it!
Girl: Time 2 Dance.
Boy: You rock.
Girl: Text me.

Anyone else disturbed? Or am I crazy?

That is a bit disturbing. I have a bag of Brach's conversation hearts and they are the same old thing, flavors and all. What kind did you buy?

I bought the Sweethearts brand (by Necco). They are the originals...but I think I'll have to stick with the generic.
