Oh, Valentine's Day...or as many people call it "Single's Awareness Day". But you're never truly alone when you're with the one you love...and if you love food, then you're never really alone, right?! Here's some fun and frivolous Valentine's Day facts to spice up your next conversation: --You know the infamous Cadbury Creme Eggs? Well, Richard Cadbury, whom they are named after and invented by, actually invented the FIRST box of Valentine's Day themed chocolates in the 1880's. --More than 36 million heart-shaped boxes of chocolate will be sold for Valentine's Day. --Cherries actually belong to the rose family, making them an even more passionate fruit than we had originally thought. --In the 1800s physicians commonly advised broken hearted patients to eat chocolate to calm their pining. --The avocado isn’t just an excellent source of protein and healthy fat. This fruit is also an Aztec symbol of love and fertility. As if that wasn’t romantic enough, they also grow in pairs. Isn’t that sweet? --Throughout history, chocolate has always been seen as an aphrodisiac: Madame DuBarry served chocolates to all of her suiters, Cassanova consumed chocolate instead of champagne to induce romance, and the ancient Aztec king, Montezuma believed chocolate would make him fertile. --Starting your Valentine’s Day meal off with oysters may truly help set the mood. This seafood is considered an aphrodisiac due to its high zinc content, which is linked to testosterone production and male fertility. --8 billion conversation hearts will be produced this year, enough candies to stretch from Rome, Italy to Valentine, Arizona 20 times and back again.
