At the Heart of It

Forrest Gump said that, “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.” But when it comes to Valentine’s Day and whether or not you’ll be getting that ubiquitous heart shaped box, you can know with a little more certainty. CandyStore.com ranks each state’s most popular Valentine’s Day candy, and while those ever-popular chocolates appear among nearly every state’s top three, in Tennessee you’re more likely to get a pack of Conversation Hearts. If you’re not enticed by Wild Berry Skittles, our No. 3, perhaps you should move to Alabama, where candy necklaces are in vogue.
