Sweethearts. You know, the heart-shaped candy with the stilted sayings printed on them, that come in the pocket-size box with the see-through window? It takes a lot longer to describe them than it does to name them but the truth is, I didn’t know what they were called, and I wanted to make sure we were on the same page. They’re popular around Valentine’s Day, and have been for over 150 years. For me, they’re second to chocolate on Valentine’s Day but evoke some memories, and that puts me right in line with the rest of America—we’re sort of fond of them somehow, but know they’re nowhere near as good as chocolate.
