Goldenberg's Peanut Chews - Why Screw Up the Wrapper?
We recently picked up a pack of one of our favorites - Goldenberg's Peanut Chews. We got them at Cracker Barrel, but previously had only gotten them at the movie theater...and its been awhile since I'd had them. You can see, in perfect Cracker Barrel form, its a great, vintage label. As I mentioned, its been awhile, so I had only ever seen this candy with the vintage label and the slightly newer version (below).
But the following is the new wrapper, the one currently sold. We hate it. We're not opposed to updating a classic candy, but why wouldn't you evolve the original - refreshing it and giving it a face lift. Not some Saturday morning cartoon-looking logo.
What do you think?

I last bought goldenberg's peanut chews a few years back at a dollar store- the only place I could find them. They are the absolute BEST - flavor,texture,mix of chewy molasses flavor and roasted peanuts in chocolate. Since chldhood I craved them. The new wrapper is a letdown - like losing a good, reliable face of a friend. BUT I don't care as long as they DON'T mess with one molecule of the original recipe!!!!!
For instance, Bit o Honey and Mary Janes have gone soft and the flavor is just not the same.
