Conversation hearts are the best thing about Valentine’s Day, writes iWatchiAm
Photo: Cj Gunther/EPA/Shutterstock Hello, my name is Olivia, and I have been a hopeless romantic for 30-plus years. I’ve also been tragically single. But, while Valentine’s Day, a holiday all about love and romance, seems to be specifically designed to make me feel bad for myself, I have persevered. Why? Because on Valentine’s Day, I get to indulge in my favorite holiday-themed treat: conversation hearts.
There is no question: Conversation hearts are the best thing about Valentine’s Day. It’s not about the taste, which I have been told is pretty universally described as “gross” and “inedible,” though I maintain that they are sugary deliciousness . For me, it’s the gimmick that really makes conversation hearts great. Traditionally, conversation hearts are printed with personal and romantic messages like “XOXO,” “Kiss Me,” and “Email Me.” More current examples include “Text Me” and “Bae.
The Taste Okay, I’ll admit, conversation hearts don’t really taste like anything. Eating a candy heart is like biting into a vaguely sugary piece of chalk with a few drops of artificial flavoring thrown in. Sounds kinda gross, but it’s also light enough that you can eat a full box without feeling sick. Not to mention the fact that you can save the white hearts and eat them last if you want to use the mint flavor as a breath mint, if you’re into that kind of thing.
