Any candy heart fans out there? I recently learned that people have very strong opinions about conversation hearts. Apparently it’s a “love it” or “hate it” thing—kind of like cilantro. What I don’t like about them is how they always look messed up. Inevitably, in each little box, you’ll find a handful of pristine, perfectly-printed conversation hearts with sayings that aren’t completely absurd. The rest are splotchy, off-centered, and unintelligible—if they’re even printed on at all.
