A classic element of Valentine's Day is the love we share with those around us: family, significant others, or FRIENDS.
Brach's has released conversation hearts to spread the love this Valentine's Day with sayings from a show loved by many, Friends, in honor of the show's 30th anniversary. Yes, we are all getting older...
Although the show ended almost 19 years ago, the love for the show has stuck around through its loyal fan base because of what it stands for, love and friendship.
With relationship and friendship drama on the show, Friends shows us all different forms of love, and isn't that what Valentine's Day - and great sitcom television - is all about?
Conversation hearts have long been a Valentine's Day classic for people to express their love adorably. NECCO made these heart-shaped sugar treats for years before they went bankrupt, as did Brachs.
In addition, conversation hearts typically feature words such as "Cutie" and other more innocuous sayings, but these conversation hearts aren't quite the same.
The Friends conversation hearts feature sayings related to the show in different delicious flavors than the classic hearts.
The flavors include a delicious mixture of Blueberry, Cherry, Oranges, Pineapple, Strawberry, and Watermelon.
Each phrase or word on the hearts has a special meaning explicitly related to the show, and I'm here to break it down for you.
For example, "Pivot," a word on the Friends conversation hearts, is one that only true fans would get.
It refers to an iconic scene in the sitcom where Ross, one of the main characters, attempts to get their couch up the stairs and keeps saying that they must pivot it for it to fit.
On the other hearts, it features the word "Latte," which references one of the main elements of the show, the cafe Central Perk, and all the coffees they get there.
Three other phrases that are found on the hearts are "Oh My Gawd," "How U Doin," and "On a Break," which are all said by characters on the show.
Finally, another heart features the word "LBSTER," which stands for lobster. In the show, one of the main characters, Phoebe, refers to her friends, Rachel and Ross, as lobsters because she says lobsters mate for life.
We have a limited - VERY LIMITED - supply of these conversation hearts, perfect for any Friends lover, so get your hands on them while you can, as they are as much of a candy collectible as they are a sweet treat!
These candies capture the essence of the show Friends and Valentine's Day, which is that love comes in many different forms, including friendship.
