A quick post tonight as I have been traveling most of the day.

I am now in Omaha, Nebraska. On Saturday I will be participating in a memorial service for my uncle who passed away last year. I will give more details about the service in a future post.

However, tonight Orange Slices are on my mind. One of my Saturday traditions is to buy a package of orange slices at Target and slowly eat them throught the week. Earlier this week, I bought some for my trip.

When I was at the airport this morning I decided to open one of the bags and eat a few of them. I bit into the first one and something was definitely different. They did not have the same texture or taste that they usually do.

I took a look at the package and saw a little green notice. ‘New Recipe’, why can’t they leave things alone when they have a good thing?

They look pretty much the same, although there seems to be a little more uniformity and definition in the pattern.

However, when I look at the inside they are more dense than they used to be. They are more chewey and just don’t have the same texture that they used to have.

I had my dad try one and he was happy with them. One of the reasons that I like to eat orange slices is that he has always liked them.

Sorry about the quality of the pictures, I took them quickly and only later found out that they are a bit out of focus.

Do you have a favorite candy that brings back memories?
