Remember the “Sweetheart” conversation heart candies? Well, according to a Reader’s Digest article, the company, NECCO has been making them with the same simple recipe since 1902 when the candies were first introduced. However, early in 1990, the then vice president of the company decided to sweeten the mix by adding some new sayings. You can find some of the new sayings, here.
Here is an example using a few new candy messages in a sentence:
A sure recipe 4 love may be a table for 2 so you can chill out with your top dog in style – a purr fect ever after class act – so start now! 😉
My sweetheart surprised me with these beautiful flowers in my favorite colors:
Happy Valentine’s Day my friends! You Rock! 🙂
Sweet! And I had to buy a bag of conversation hearts just because. Do it every year. 😊💜💛💙💚

You Rock yourself young lady! Gorgeous flowers. Interesting. I had not seen the new words but my grandmother had a candy store from the 50’s to the 70’s and I really miss the big Necco Wafers she used to have. I was just reading on the Hot sauce bottle the company had been around since 1886 I believe. Tabasco.

That’s amazing – I had no idea about Tabasco being around so long! That could make an interesting post – Spice It Up is one of the candy sayings. 😜Lol! 💖💕 What fun memories for you about your grandma having a candy store! Did you get to visit it much?

LOL, yes it would be a good post. Yes, we visited her often. We even got to sell penny candy and put it in little brown bags. It was in two huge glass display cases. The really little kids had to climb a step ladder to see in the case. She had dry goods as well as all kinds of knick knacks. She also wrote the town paper lol.
