Sweethearts Candies Claims ‘Marry Me’ Hearts Are Legally Binding This Year—But Don’t Panic!
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and Sweethearts Candies is taking their iconic candy hearts to a whole new level this year. If you’ve ever dreamt of popping the big question with a candy heart that says “Marry Me,” you may want to think twice before slipping that heart into your loved one’s hand—because this year, it’s not just sweet words; it’s almost a legally binding contract.
Okay, don’t get too worried—Sweethearts is, of course, having some fun with this. The candy company has launched a playful new feature on their website that claims their candy hearts, like “Marry Me,” are legally binding. Well, sort of. While it’s all in good humor, Sweethearts is offering a fun and cheeky way to take their heart-shaped messages to the next level.
Here’s how it works: Scan a “Marry Me” heart with your phone, and it will lead you to a website that can help you get married online. You can even get legally hitched without leaving the comfort of your couch! But, if online weddings aren’t your thing, Sweethearts also has some other quirky heart-themed actions. A “Move In” heart links you to a service to hire movers, and a “4Ever” heart… well, that one will help you buy heart-shaped gravestones. Yes, they took a dark turn with that last one, but hey, it’s all part of the joke!
Sweethearts’ new gimmick is part of an evolving trend in how companies are making holiday traditions even more interactive. Last year, their “Situationship” hearts were a hilarious mess of blurry and cryptic messages, a nod to the complicated modern relationships many of us are navigating. But based on a recent poll, it looks like people are over the ambiguity. A whopping 92% of young people said they want clear and straightforward messages when it comes to relationships. So, in 2023, Sweethearts is delivering just that—no more mixed signals, just sweet (and slightly offbeat) gestures that’ll have you talking.
Whether you’re looking for a serious commitment or just a laugh, Sweethearts Candies’ new campaign has got you covered. So go ahead—scan that “Marry Me” heart, but remember: it’s all in fun… no prenup required!
