The Sweethearts spotlighted tonight are the tiny, multi-colored "conversation" candy hearts produced by NECCO®.
Since 1847, NECCO® has produced their famous "NECCO® Wafers®" and other candies (e.g., Candy Buttons®, Clark Bars®, Squirrel Nut Zippers®) -- making NECCO® the oldest continuously run, multi-line candy company in the US.
For us older Sweethearts, many of us still remember buying nickel and dime candies (and snacks) from the vending machines found in the lobbies of our local town movie theaters -- long before the "Popcorn Barons" took over the modern theater food consessions.
So, tonight, with a little nostaglia, lots of love, and a few minutes of sharing your VD with us, we have 3 multiple-choice questions, Sweethearts.
Please give us your best answers from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", or "C" (if applicable!) for each question.
Question #1: For the average Valentine's Day season (from mid-February to January), about 100,000 pounds of Sweethearts® are usually produced every day. This means that there is more than enough Sweethearts® for everyone in the world to have at least one -- True or False?
A. True, or
B. False
To
meet the high demand for Sweethearts, NECCO continuously produces them
from late February through mid-January of the following year, and
amazingly, the entire production,
approximately 100,000 pounds per
day sells out in just six weeks! One thing is
for sure, no matter what the cute sayings are, fans will always love to
celebrate Valentine’s Day with Sweethearts!
Question
#2: Lemon,
Green Apple, Blue Raspberry, Strawberry, Grape, and Orange are
the flavors currently
found in the Original Sweethearts® Mix. This year, by popular
demand, NECCO® introduced Chocolate as the only specially available
single flavor of Sweethearts® -- True or False?A. True, or
B. False

Necco Sweethearts Hot Hearts and Cool Hearts
Necco has taken some heat in the past few years regarding their changes to the flavor and recipe for their iconic Sweethearts Conversation Hearts.
The idea of creating individually flavored packages if the Sweethearts seems like a great way to sort this out. Necco released to single-flavor packages this year: Necco Sweethearts Hot Hearts and Necco Sweethearts Cool Hearts. They’re cinnamon and peppermint (respectively).
Question #3:
Since the 1990s, new phrases have been added to the Sweethearts®
annual mix. What was the new phrase
added this year (2014)?Necco has taken some heat in the past few years regarding their changes to the flavor and recipe for their iconic Sweethearts Conversation Hearts.
The idea of creating individually flavored packages if the Sweethearts seems like a great way to sort this out. Necco released to single-flavor packages this year: Necco Sweethearts Hot Hearts and Necco Sweethearts Cool Hearts. They’re cinnamon and peppermint (respectively).
A. "Fax Me", or
B. "Tweet Me", or
C. "Let's Read"
1995
-- In
the early 1990's, NECCO’s then Vice President Walter Marshall began an
initiative to update the sayings each year, retiring some while adding
others. The first new phrase, “Fax
Me,” gained a lot of attention from Sweetheart
fans. Following this notable effort, each year NECCO now
receives hundreds of saying suggestions from romantics, candy lovers
and school kids. From old tech, "Call Me” to new tech, "E-mail Me,"
Sweethearts keep the pulse on the heartbeat of the nation.
2010
-- NECCO asks fans to submit suggestions for new sayings to include in
the Sweethearts lineup and receive an overwhelming amount of
submissions. The top two entries, “Text Me” and “Tweet Me,” are added
to the annual mix, reflecting the Valentine’s Day candy’s blend of
classic signs of affection with contemporary forms of communication
between loved ones.
While today's sayings are on average much shorter, some of the original
sayings are still in rotation, including "Be Mine," "Be Good," "Be
True," "Kiss Me." In honor of NECCO's 150th Anniversary in 1997, a
saying was brought back from the early 1900's: "The One I Love." And in
2014, the longtime favorite “Let’s Read” also reappeared in the mix, capturing some classic charm. (from About
