No candy hearts with the words on them this year

The first time in anyone currently alive's lifetime, these things aren't being made. They had been made every year for 153 years

Sweethearts first began making conversation hearts in 1866. The operation was taken over by Necco in 1901 and since then they’ve become the most popular Valentine’s Day candy in 21 states. Last year, The Candy Store reported that Sweethearts Conversation Hearts were the most popular Valentine’s Day candy in America. So what happened?

Until 2018, Necco was the oldest continually operating candy company—but in July, the company abruptly closed and announced they needed to sell. Someone either needed to buy all of Necco or purchase the brands individually. In September, Necco was purchased by Round Hill Investments, who then sold the Sweethearts brand to Spangler Candy Company.

Because of the time it takes to create the supply of conversation hearts, Spangler Candy Company didn’t have enough time to make the hearts for 2019. It took Necco 11 months to produce 8 billion conversation hearts—all of which would be sold in the 6 weeks leading up to Valentine’s Day.
