TwitterFacebook

Don’t let the corny marketing fool you — Valentine’s Day is about much more than mushy romantic love.

Match is offering 25% off most premium subscriptions

Cuffing season is generally considered to run from October to March — it makes sense that people want to be cozied up when cold weather hits.

But the most lonely months are easily January and February. Though some insist that Valentine’s Day is a capitalist scam to get you to spend money, it’s hard to not want to be coupled up when romance is being shoved in your face. It’s probably why the first Sunday of the new year has the highest number of online dating signups.

Match wants to help: The online dating giant is having a huge sale on its premium subscriptions, offering 25% off monthly prices on three-month, six-month, and year-long memberships — no code necessary. Slashed prices are as follows: Read more…

This may be the last year for those candy hearts you people love

TwitterFacebook

Candy hearts — hate ’em or like ’em for some apparent reason — they’re part of the fabric of American life.

That chapter of our candy history may soon be coming to a close, according to The Boston Globe. Necco, the company that produces the candies, formally called Sweethearts, is reportedly in financial trouble and may have to fire up to 395 employees if they don’t find a buyer soon.

Those employees make up the vast majority of Necco’s workforce.

Even if you don’t like candy hearts, Necco, it should be noted, produces more than the chalky candy. They’re also responsible for some of the weirdest candy found in your Trick-Or-Treat bags, including Mary Janes, Candy Buttons, Mighty Malts, Necco Wafers, and Banana Split chews.  Read more…

In case you hadn’t already spotted the onslaught of heart-shaped everything in the shops, it’s Valentine’s Day. 

And, one cheeky pilot decided to have a bit of fun by drawing a giant love heart in the sky. The Virgin Atlantic pilot—who was out on a training flight—took a heart-shaped route off the coast of Cornwall, UK. 

The love-heart flight path was visible on FlightRadar24.com, and was first spotted by eagle-eyed plane spotter Philip Davis.

Passive-aggressive gift-giving just got taken to a new level.

Kim Kardashian West has released a range of “Kimoji Hearts” perfumes, and with Valentine’s Day on the horizon, what better time to publicise?
