Review On Valentine’s Candy

Review+On+Valentines+Candy
During Valentine’s season  there are different kinds of candy someone could buy for the holiday or for a Valentine’s Day party you have at school.

I went to Walmart two days before Valentine’s Day and bought Conversation Hearts, Dum-Dums, Peanut M&M’s, and Dove chocolate. I bought these kinds of candies because they go back to the 1900’s. 

First of all before I even started looking for candy I searched up what kinds of candies went back and I saw that conversation hearts came out in 1901. I bought them and ate them. Each of them taste different and each of them have different sayings on them like hug me, kiss me, I like you, and other sayings. 

After buying the conversation hearts, I kept looking and searching up what other candies there were back in the 1900’s. I found that Dum-Dums were made in 1924, 23 years after the conversation hearts came out in 1901. I bought them and decided what flavor I should start to eat because there’s so many different flavors like blue raspberry, mystery flavor, cherry, bubble gum, peach, fruit punch, strawberry, pineapple, cream soda, root beer, watermelon. 

I bought conversation hearts, Dum-Dums, and after I got those two candies I kept looking because I didn’t know what to get and I found out that Dove chocolate came out 15 years after Dum-Dums came out in 1939. I bought the dark chocolate and strawberry swirl flavor out of the other 12 flavors I could choose from because it stood out to me. It seemed like the best flavor to me because it looked better than just the regular dark or milk chocolate.  

Finally I purchased Peanut M&M’s which came out in 1954. I bought these ones because they were the first ones that came to my mind and I didn’t even think about the regular M&M’s. They were good, but I would rather have regular M&M’s.
