Valentine Sweethearts Candy Giveaway

I have some exciting news from Sweethearts candy. For the first time ever, the 2010 Sweethearts candy sayings have been chosen by America and demonstrate our “love” of social media. The top new sayings are “Tweet Me” and “Text Me.” Sweethearts, a 145-year-old way of sharing short and sweet messages is partnering with the newest way to share short messages – Twitter.

Remember my review of the Necco Wafers? These are made by the same company and have brighter color and fruitier flavors.

Sweethearts launched an app that Twitter will be helping to promote as a way to bring this classic candy brand into 2010. Sweethearts also created an iPhone app that allows people to send a virtual Sweethearts box to loved ones with personalized messages on hearts. The messages are sent form the iPhone to their Twitter account – how cool is that. I wish I had an iPhone!


This past year, Sweethearts ran a contest to let Americans choose the phrases on the hearts. They’ve never done this in the 145-year history of the brand. The last big technology phrases that got a lot of buzz were “Fax Me” and “Email Me” about a decade ago.

This is cool – In 2009, Sweethearts partnered with Summit Entertainment and the Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer to launch Forbidden Fruit Sweethearts (Twilight) and Fire and Ice Sweethearts (New Moon). An Eclipse-themed Twilight Sweethearts offering will be introduced in Summer 2010. Also in 2009, the brand created a new way to show appreciation and support of the military with the summer launch of Red, White & You Sweethearts, featuring sentiments like “Proud of U,” “Home Safe” and “Miss You.” American military troops in the U.S. and overseas were treated to the new Red, White & You Sweethearts in care packages through a partnership with the United Service Organizations, Inc. (USO).

A new saying – launched right here…..
