A little Necco-ing
When did Sweethearts Conversation Hearts become so depressing? I remember, when I was younger, they were funny, quirky and cute... now, they serve only to remind that we are single and all the cute hopefulness has faded; "fax me" no longer seems like a quaint romantic notion, rahter it is laden with the concepts of work. Then, there is the "UR Cute" which you cannot say to a guy in the bar anymore without them taking offense and thinking that you are on the last hour of your biological clock.
Others in my little box of confection include:
Be Good.
Call Me.
Kiss Me.
Only You.
I Do.
Miss You.
My Man.
I Love You.
And, from the Necco website, a little sickening sweet trivia:
NECCO® manufactures eight billion Sweethearts® Conversation Hearts each year, the majority of which are sold during the six-week period between January 1 and Valentine’s Day; making Sweethearts the #1 selling non-chocolate Valentine’s Day candy.

Not everyone reads those stupid things anyway. I really only buy them cuz they are small enough to eat while you are talking on the phone :) Nothing better than sucking on a sweetheart while taking phone calls.
