Love Hearts - A fab sweet treat for all ages!

Advantages: Fun, cute messages and great for sharing
Disadvantages: Quite high sugar content (they are made from it though)

...Overview Production of Love Hearts first began in 1933 when Swizzels Ltd. formed, they were initially produced in London but in 1940 production relocated to a disused textile mill in New Mills, Derbyshire, where Love Hearts are still made nearly 70 years later. Love Hearts have a website: www.lovehearts.com which shows the different products but doesn't actually explain what love hearts are. I would describe love hearts as hard tablet shaped sweets which come in 6 different colours. What is a Love Heart look like? The sweets are small and circular, approximately 19 mm in diameter, and 5 mm in height, a similar size to a one pence piece. Both sides are embossed with a decoration, the bavk with a large outline of a heart, the front carries the message within an outline of a heart, which are highlighted in red. The main part of the sweet...

Love sweets

...Love hearts are these a Childs sweet? Swizzles have made love hearts since the 1950’s. So what are love hearts? Love hearts are a sweet small and round about the size of a £1 coin. These sweets are enclosed in a very plain paper Wrapper, pastel coloured . They all fit together and are wrapped making a small cylinder of sweets The sweets again are pale pastely colours peach pink green yellow, white.

I LOVE U, Look Ciao, I Can Read...

Advantages: Taste! Ya get a little message!
Disadvantages: A bit boring the wrapper, is!

...Are you very shy? Are you conscious of saying ‘I Love You’ to your partner? Well, if you do I have two thing to say – grow up you wimp, show some bloody affection will ‘ya! And, buy some love hearts! So, most of you probably won’t have heard of Love Hearts! Well, you know those kinds of sweets that hide on the bottom shelf in your local corner shop, and they’re only cheap, and if you have no dosh you find ‘em and buy ‘em? Well, these are on of them! But, when most cheapies taste… well, cheap, these aren’t, and are a very refreshing and enjoyable taste! The Taste? Well these come in different flavours, and unlike most they aren’t fruity taste-wise. These have more of a smooth, not as strong taste, that will keep you coming back for more! These sweets are...

Wouldn't you love to find one that says SHAG ME?

Advantages: The usual yummy sweets that are reserved for kids.
Disadvantages: Too sweet after a whole tube. Strange taste.

...Browsing in Tesco's today I came across these. Oh I remember these when I was little, giving Martin Albutt a 'Dream Boy' Love Heart and giggling as I ran away! lol To be honest, I wasn't too concerned about the taste of the Love Hearts at that time but now I'm older and wiser I thought I'd buy a pack to review and see if they still hold the same childish appeal as they did in 1982! oOoOo THE WRAPPER oOoOo Love Hearts come in a tube of clear plastic which is encased in another tube, this time made of paper. the paper looks decidedly 1970's in appearance. You've got the words Love Hearts in huge red letters with a border of hearts all saying such gems as 'Be Mine', 'Trust Me' and for the more up to date amongst us 'Email Me'. You're also given ingredients (including a whopping 7 E numbers!) in 4 languages and contact details...

i love you

Advantages: they are a good way to get a message across without saying a word
Disadvantages: an awful lot of E numbers

...Swizzels Love Hearts have been on the market for quite a while now, I always remember favouring them as a child. APPEARANCE They are round and about the size of a pound coin yet not as thick, each sweet is a different colour and they have an embossed love heart on them and a little saying inside the love heart. Some of the sayings are original ones from when i was a child like "my boy", "don`t cry", "catch me", "true love" and more plus they have added some new ones which are up to date with our new technologies such as "page me", "e mail me", "fax me" and such like. TASTE They taste so very sweet and fruity and are not unlike Refreshers maybe just a little less fizzy than them. Each one has a different fruit flavour which is quite distinguishing. INGREDIENTS The ingredients are as follows: Sugar, Acidity...

Heart & Soul (Love & Friendship by Binchy)

Advantages: A good story
Disadvantages: A strong feeling of "déjà vu"

...friends. Chapter Two puts Declan Carroll in the foreground. He arrives in the clinic for a six-month training period and meets Fiona. A love story starts between them but, as usual in Binchy's books, love isn't as easy as it seems. Chapter Three deals with Hilay Hickey's life : her past; her current problems. She's a widow and lives with her son Nick (a music teacher) and her mother Jessica. Jessica is getting old and gets her ideas mixed up. She needs constant attention and Hilary doesn't know what to do with her. ♥ Heart & Soul : My opinion Even if the reader's attention is drawn to a character in particular, the others aren't swept under the carpet! They still live in the background, if I may say. In fact, the book is presented as a novel but it has many points in common with a group of short stories. You...

Review of Heart and Soul - Maeve Binchy

What we love to do we find time to do

Advantages: communicate with the one you love
Disadvantages: they may eat and run

...So far in my opinion list, I have written about keeping lips soft and subtle for those intimate moments, keeping breath fresh and sweet for those passionate snogs and now I move on to the subject of how to declare your love for that someone special. Some may be inclined to send bouquets of fresh flowers, which is a nice gesture but not an appealing sight when your new lover opens the door with a face full of snot due to the high pollen content now invading their home. Others would send boxes of the finest chocolates but alas on your next rendevous your lover is the size of a baby elephant and love has left your heart forever. Yet fear not for I, Dr Lurve Machine, have found a product so endearing, so original that even the heardest of hearts will fall for your elusive charms. Love Hearts are another product made by Swizzels...

SWEETS FOR LOVE

Advantages: Nice and refreshing sweet
Disadvantages: sugar and E Numbers

...Swizzels Love Hearts are a sweet that has been on the market for many years in fact dating back to the early 1930s. They can be bought in all supermarkets, convenience stores and sweetshops for around 30p a tube. You can easily recognise them on the shelves by their distinctive twist wrapped with a brightly coloured wrapper with the words Love Hearts in large red letters. Above and below the writing there are pictures of tiny love hearts with different sayings on them such as email me and trust me, I must say the sayings have changed since I was a child lol. The pack also lists the ingredients which are very small to read but I certainly can make out the huge amounts of E numbers in them. So untwisting the pack there is approximately 28 round sweets which measure nearly 2cm diameter. The sweets are different colours...

LOVEly Sweets!

Advantages: tasty, LOVEly, cheap
Disadvantages: bad for teeth!

...Love hearts are delicious, and no ordinary sweets. I just got a pack, as I was feeling like some fizzy sweets. These sweets are fizzy and delicious, and they come at a great price. These would be the best sweets to give to your girlfriend, if you wanted to please her. Each sweet is round, and has a little message on it. I will explain about them a bit more in my review. The sweets come in a tube of quite a few sweets, around 18 or so. They are wrapped up in plastic packaging, and this keeps them in good condition. Round this, the label is wrapped round. The label is white, and not particularly special, as they are love sweets, and the label could be pink or purple or some interesting colour. The label is white, but has some pictures of love hearts on it, and Love Hearts in capitals on the front in red writing. The tubes are rather...

P.S. I Love You - Heart-Warming Love Story

Advantages: Emotionally charged - thought provoking.
Disadvantages: None.

...from Gerry telling her he wants her to get dressed and go celebrate her birthday with her friends. Shaken from her depression, Holly does as he asks and goes out with her friends to celebrate her birthday. As the days and weeks go by, Holly receives more letters from Gerry, each one of them asking her to perform a certain task, and every one of them signed; P.S. I Love You. Following the instructions on the letters, Holly's depression slowly lifts, and, with Gerry's guidance, she learns how to enjoy life once again? 'P.S. I Love You' is an incredibly heart-warming film, and a great cinematic achievement in unpretentious storytelling. As you will have guessed by the title, the movie is a weepy so make sure you have a box of tissues at hand - what the title doesn't tell you is that it will make you smile and laugh as well as make...
