You know those Sweethearts candies? They're those chalky candies with the little messages on them. Surely you're received one as a Valentine's Day gift or something. Well, if there's one mystery in the Universe, it's what messages those little NECCO Sweethearts candies contain. Well, I decided to buy six 20-oz. bags of Sweethearts Tiny Conversation Hearts. With the help of one of my cousins and a few of my friends, I was able to see how many times each message appeared. Altogether, we counted almost 1,400 hearts.
