Conversation Heart History

Tip of the Week – Conversation Heart History!

Sweetheart’s Conversation Hearts candies are almost synonymous with Valentine’s Day!  As for me, I’ve made refrigerator magnet frames out of the boxes, filled glass urns with hundreds of these colorful hearts to hold pillar candles and used the candies as invitations to a coffee party at my house!

While my uses are pretty modern, these candies date back to the 1860’s when one of the first printed sayings was a simple, “Be Mine!”  In the years since, the phrases have kept up well with the changing times!  Here’s a quick summary of expressions of love through the decades:

• 1920’s:  The One I Love
• 1950’s:  Hep Cat
• 1960’s:  Far Out
• 1970’s: 
• 1996:    Fax Me
• 1998:    You Go Girl
• 2000:    2000 Kisses
• 2001:    U R A Star
• 2002:    Te Amo
• 2004:    I M Me
• 2005:    #1 Fan
• 2006:    ILU
• 2008:    Chill Out

I wonder what sayings we have to look forward to in 2009?  “Friend Me” from Facebook?  “LOL?”  “Text Me?”  “Go Green?”

I’d love to hear your own ideas!  Happy Valentine’s Day from Busy Bee!
