(More customer reviews)Valentine's Day is my one chance per year to make up for all the stupid, lazy, thoughtless, horny, arrogant and unromantic things my wife has put up with since the last V-Day. My only hope to get out of the doghouse and back in the bunkhouse is to pull off a Grand Romantic Gesture that makes her forget the Neanderthal she lives with for 364 days in between.
Also, I don't want to spend too much money. Some of that stupid, lazy, thoughtless stuff can get pretty expensive. So it's a real challenge.
These Necco hearts are a great tradition; I thought they'd really take my wife back to the good old days when we'd sit and pass them back and forth, cooing the messages to each other. (But hopefully not back to the time we actually tried eating one, and everything tasted like used blackboard for a week.)
I opened the bag and looked at a few, and I have to say that I was a bit disappointed. Maybe the slogans just seemed more sentimental back then, but ditties like 'U R 2 CUTE' or 'BE MINE' just weren't doing it for me. Where was the 'GR8 CABOOSE' or the 'HOMINA HOMINA' or 'U MAKE A KILLER TUNA CASSEROLE'? I needed these candies to be special -- to make her feel like a queen for a day.
So I did a little 'editing'. I grabbed a Sharpie, took a handful of hearts, and licked off all the messages. Then I wrote in my own, put them back in the bag, and started another handful. I don't know whether it was the Sharpie or all the candy I was ingesting, but eventually I keeled over in a haze of marker fumes and chalk dust. My wife found me passed out with 'ASK ME ABOUT MY UNDERPANTS' stuck to my forehead.
The queen was NOT amused.

Today's best-selling Valentine candy -- Sweethearts Conversation Hearts--the pastel sugar hearts with the quirky sayings, were as much a part of your childhood as they are for today's kids. NECCO manufactures over 8 billion hearts each year to keep up with demand for this American icon.Still it's hard to believe that the concept behind today's Conversation Hearts got its start when Abraham Lincoln was still President. Mottoes seemed to have come into prominence with ?cockles,? a small crisp candy made of sugar and flour formed in the shape of a cockle or scallop shell. The early cockles contained mottoes, which were printed on thin colored paper and rolled up inside.
