Sweethearts Candies Have New Sayings Inspired by Love Song Lyrics This Year
food and wine ^ | 1/26/2021 | Mike pomranz

Here's the full list (and don't worry, there's no vaguely inappropriate "34+35" heart):

"IGOTU BABE" "CRAZY NLUV" "PER FECT" "SUMMR LOVIN" "LOVE SHAK" "STILL THE 1" "ADORE YOU" "LUVME TENDR" "SUGAR SUGAR" "AT LAST" "1000 YEARS" "ALLMY LIFE" "MY GIRL" "BABY LOVE" "ONLY YOU" "HAPPY 2GTHR" "I'LLBE THERE" "I'M YOURS" "ALL OF ME" "LEAN ONME" "10000 HOURS"

The brand suggests that the range of songs serve as a tribute to the many generations of fans who have had Sweethearts since they were created in 1902—but, if you ask me, they also make for a great trivia game: Can you name which song and artist inspired each one? (And if so, maybe put a Spotify playlist together for me?)

"There have been hundreds of sayings featured on Sweethearts Candies over the years, but after a year unlike any other, we knew we wanted to add a high note to the season," Diana Eschhofen, Spangler Candy's director of corporate communications, stated with a pun. "Opening or exchanging a box of Sweethearts uniquely encourages connection in a way that sparks feelings of cheer, happiness and nostalgia. With this in mind, we came up with the idea to create sayings inspired by our favorite heart-themed songs over the decades, because what better way to bring a smile to someone's face than being reminded of a melody."

Spangler says that Sweethearts are available for purchase nationwide in single boxes or in five-count packs, and despite the ownership change, are still sold in the original Sweethearts Candies colors and flavors including Wintergreen, Orange, Lemon, Blue Raspberry, Banana, Grape, and Cherry.

Slightly off topic, but for the last couple of Valentine’s Days, I haven’t been able to find Brachs Cinnamon Hearts anywhere. Do any of you know what happened? The company still makes them...
