Hey, what’s wrong with “Let’s Read?” That’s kinda sexy! Now, if I had my way, every little hart-shaped candy in the White House would read, “What’s Wrong With You?” and every candy saying in Congress would say “RETIRE.” And then, of course, there’s a special candy for Sen. Menendez: “Your Money’s on the the Dresser.” But maybe that’s just me 😉
The Sweetheart is 147 years old. But not all of its cute little sayings have enjoyed quite the same sesquicentennial longevity. The folks from NECCO, the confectionery company that sells 4 million pounds of their traditional heart-shaped candies in the 6 weeks before Valentine’s Day, sent me the full list of their most notable retired sayings.

Amazingly, NECCO told me that they once toyed with a saying like PUCKER UP. But the industrial machine had a habit of printing Ps that looked a little to much like Fs. So, yeah. That was one Sweetheart that didn’t make it to market.
The perfect(Washington D.C. distributed only)Sweetheart candy: “You Are IMPEACHED”
Never mind the standard Sweetheart candies; you want the Bittersweets from Despair!
Yeah I’d get some ‘dejected bittersweets’, what a crackup! But so would others…it’s sold out for now folks. I wonder if they taste bitter.
obama’s favorite ‘”ME, MYSELF, AND I”
Suggested Leftist Sweetheart Candy sayings:
“I wanna steal ur heart. And the next election”
And how ’bout:
“Ur my fav Occupooper”
Sayings updated for today;
I only have 3 STDs that Obamacare won’t treat.
My Mom won’t let us use her car’s backseat.
I don’t know what a date is, wanna hookup?
Wow, you have really great big tattoos.
Don’t worry, EBT cards are accepted at abortion clinics.
My first grade sex counselor said to do this.
“Your Money ‘s On The Dresser”…stunning…how apropos…but it’s not just Bob Menendez…how many does it really apply to? 100 + 435? + 1 + all their aids and lobbyists. DISGUSTING.

Heh, I occasionally transposed my Ps and Fs in writing, about the 5th grade or so. Nothing ever came of that :-), but I do remember a umm.. mistake. Lavoris (mouthwash) had a catchy song where they sang "pucker power." My folks gently explained that I was hearing "Pucker power" and NOT what I was singing. Looking back, I'm glad they caught it before I could sing it outside the home.
Ah, the good old days, where one might make it half-way through childhood without hearing (or understanding) what is common punctuation these days.
My heart for all of Washington “You’re Fired” or especially for Repubs “No Balls” – is that wrong?
how about…… do You Take Visa?
