What's happened to Runts?

Went to my local candy dealer the other day and ordered up a half pound of runts only to discover that they changed the runts. No more lime/watermelon runts? It's a tragedy. I went to the Willy Wonka website to try and decipher why they would make such a blunder. But since it is designed for kids and not serious candy lovers like myself it said nothing. They are keeping their lips tight. Everyone knows if you are going to eliminate a runt it should be banana. Nobody likes the banana runts.
