Love Hearts Sweets


Time to review a classic retro sweet - Love Hearts. 

While countless old-time favourites have mysteriously vanished through the decades, Love Hearts have grown in influence and popularity. 


First produced in the 1950s as a fizzy sweet with cheesy chat-up lines printed upon them, Love Hearts quickly became embedded in popular culture - it soon became a rite of passage for young men to woo their first loves with a pack. 


The risque nature of the chat up lines (Tease Me, Say Yes, Break Me) combined with the fruity, fizzy flavours, have seen the sweet take on a life of its own and a whole spin-off industry has developed around the brand, including jewellery, stationery and homewares.


Love Hearts have also become a very popular table favour for weddings - it is even possible to have them personalised for the occasion. 


So why not show your love with a pack of Love Hearts?
