Did You Know?
 Conversation hearts, the colorful Valentine’s Day candies with sometimes sweet
and sometimes cheeky sayings printed on them, date back to Victorian times. Back
then, lovesick bachelors would give "conversation lozenges" with phrases like
“How do you flirt?” and “Can you polka?” to the objects of their affection.
