The Majority of Conversation Hearts Are Blank or Messed Up

The new conversation hearts owners, The Spangler Candy Company, admitted last month that there would be some hearts this year that came out blank or with messed up messages on them because the printer for the hearts broke and couldn’t be repaired in time. Another candy company opened 10 boxes of the hearts and found that only 3% of them actually look good, with a clear message printed in the right spot. 65% were blank, 8% had a partial print and 24% had unintelligible markings.
