If this were a chocolate bar, it would be a Sweetart. It's not a chocolate bar. It's sweet and unsurprisingly sour and tart. Exactly what you would expect, but somehow surprisingly strong. Every flavor hits you in ways you wouldn't expect. Even if, when you break it down, it's just a lemon flavored piece of chalk. Everything is so exaggerated, yet so grounded. It reminds you of a time when life was so confusing, so odd, so complicated, and so lonely. So many loose ends like, what flavor really is this piece of chalk? And in the end, you learn that the flavors are just so pathetic, but you can't help but put another in your mouth. You want to see these stupid flavors go on more adventures, even if they'll just keep crashing again and again.
