Necco unveiled
its annual newbies amongst the sayings which festoon its iconic Valentine candy hearts today. The coolest in my book are
hearts featuring the words "and" and "to" so hungry lovers can create phrases such as the suggested
"kiss me to be mine" or my own, spur-of-the-moment creation, "UR kind to be true to my baby and
website."
Each new year brings with it a special theme. Last year: sports. Bor-ing. This year, in keeping with the thousands of troops who aren't, is home. New phrases include "home soon," "go home," "call home," "sweet home," and the slightly risque "home run" and "house party." Finally, Necco added "ILU" for you text-messaging sweethearts (if I have to explain that to you, you SO don't need that heart).
