The best of the sweet hearts

January 13, 2025 8:51 PM

You know that Valentine's Day candy that has little messages written on hearts? Where can I order a bag of those that has generally different and better messages on them? The usual bag has fairly blaise stuff that's been said before, I'm looking for hearts that still have the general lovey dovey Valentine's theme, but something more (and better) than the blaise messages. Bonus points if they're humorous! What do you recommend?

Best answer: There are Smarties hearts that say things like "YAAAAS! " and "SWIPE RIGHT". Or these risque hearts with messages like "CUTE BUTT!" or "LET"S MAKE LOVE!" There are also these Friends-themed hearts, although the messages look rather poorly printed.

Best answer: They're Conversation Hearts. And I love them!

There's the Global kind with multiple languages, the Wisecrack ones that say things like SALTY and DREAM ON. Oh, and I just found a Bridgertons one? Which say things like SWOON and QUEEN, because presumably there is not enough space to write DIAMOND OF THE FIRST WATER.

I used to sand off the sayings and write my own in fine point red sharpie, not sure if it's safe but it was fun.

Best answer: You *can* get them customized, but it'll cost you. 300 hearts (minimum qty will cost over $50, plus possibly S&H). You can order smaller packs, but presumably at MANY times the "bulk rates".

Best answer: It's not safe to eat sharpie pen markings, but you can buy fine-tip markers made with food dye. (example)
