Candy hearts. They're awfully divisive, as much as a seasonal-themed candy can be. Some people vocally loathe them, calling them chalky and flavorless. Others love the colorful, saying-branded hearts.
In the 90s, the candy began creeping into the modern era with the new phrase "Fax me". Since then, the hearts have (usually) enjoyed a new round of sayings each year centered around a theme. "Usually" being an important phrase, here — when the original company, Necco, shut down, the sayings from 2010-2019 were lost. However, the new owner, Spangler, continues to update the little hearts.
Here's a few themes from the past few decades. Can you pick out the one we made up?

2024: Friendship and Appreciation

2021: Love Songs

2009: A Menu of Love

2CUTE! You got 10 out of 10
6/10 - for what that was worth - Romantic Me:)
My grandson is in First Grade, and they are handing out cards to all the kids in their class.
still? That is so so so cool
4/10 not sure what that was about, been many yrs since 5th grade v-day candy
5/10.
6/10 That's a tough quiz, not sure what the messages said on the candy hearts since they sale them every year on Valentine's Day.
8/10
Good score.☺️ I only scored 3/10.🙄 When I was a kid, I used to like them, a little chalky, but not bad. I haven't had them in years. I couldn't find a candy heart emoji; this is the best I could do.💕☺️
the hearts were chalky along with Neccos
You're right JHP. I forgot about Neccos. Nowadays I prefer chocolate. 🍫 😄
3/10. Not sure what I was doing.
I don’t get it
5/10, clueless.
Me too. What a goofy quiz. 🤪
I should take the time to read them before I eat them.
Lol 😄 Me too. I haven't had those in years.
4/10
0/10, I didn’t care for this one.
I didn’t take the quiz cuz I know I would have the same score
3 wrong, then 3 right, then 2 more wrong, and the last 2 right. That comes out to 5/10, which is what you'd expect from guessing at random, but the streaks were kind of a surprise.

Never did like those candy hearts, it was like eating chalk 🤣😅😂

4 out of 10.
2 of 10. Only a 2 out of 10? Oh sure! Every girls dream to spend Valentines Day with a number 2! Thanks for that flattering profile METV... 🤔😬💔
chuckle chuckle - you got me doing it:)

A personal best in futility!

This was a goofy quiz.
I quit in the middle of the quiz. Not one of your better efforts MEtv.
I agree 100%.
The sayings are barren of any kind of sentiment or human warmth and are at best simple
minded.
Who besides children would give these as any sort of present? Not worth a quiz on.

For those who didn't get the mechanism of this quiz, the MeTV staff really used the wrong picture. They were talking about these little critters:
For each question, two of the three "sayings" were introduce in the given year by the manufacturer, and one was made up by the MeTV Staff.

Those candies were pretty good and the ones you didn't like made good ammo for your slingshot.
😄
You could sell bunches of those. I would buy one if it came in a set, slingshot and a handful of those fake hearts

Mostly "educated guesses". (Not very WELL educated, but...)

Where do they come up with these quizzes?🤔
The Island of Misfit Quizzes. Yukon Cornelius brought some back and then got hired
by the MeTV staff.
