Tweet me!

So, maybe I'm still living back in 2007.
Maybe these have been around for years now.
Is this a sign of the times?
Today S-girl asked me what her sweetheart said.
"Text me", I read in disbelief!
Of course, she ate it and so I decided to look through the box and see if I could find another.
I know that everyone (with the exception of myself and D-Man) "texts".
But still, people! Is that romantic. Aren't these suppose to be little sweet nothings that you would whisper in someone's ear?

I read somewhere that NECCO has been making conversation hearts since the civil war.

It's hard to imagine Abraham Lincoln tucking a "text me" heart into Mary Todd Lincoln's pocket!

I remember in 2nd grade a boy put a "be mine" heart on my desk.

Of course, I gave him a dirty look!

So I pick through each heart and am disappointed when I don't find another "Text me".

But then, I found this sweet nothing. This one takes the cake!

"TWEET ME!!"

Now that's HOT!

p.s.

Has anyone noticed the sweethearts just don't taste the same!

What is that new flavor?

Almost reminiscent of gargling with Pine-sol.

Or maybe I just got a bad batch!

p.s.s.

For the first time in its 145-year history, the American public was invited to participate in an online survey to decide which phrases of love would appear on conversation hearts in 2010. The winners include: "Tweet Me," "Text Me," "You Rock," "Soul Mate," "Love Bug," and "Me + You." Bet you didn't know that 8 billion conversations hearts will be made this year.

And that there folks, was your history lesson for the day!

You're Welcome!
