Heart-shaped boxes of chocolate have been a thing for over 150 years. Richard Cadbury sold the first one for Valentine’s Day in 1868. But it’s 2025 now, so we’ve got heart-shaped EVERYTHING.
Google looked at the top heart-shaped product each state is googling more than other states.
They broke it down into five categories . . .
1. Food-related products: Some are normal, like heart-shaped candy in New York. But there’s also heart-shaped bagels in North Carolina . . . waffles in Idaho . . . burger buns in New Mexico . . . marshmallows in Florida . . . and Iowa wants heart-shaped taco platters.
2. Craft and party-related items: Nothing too crazy. Heart-shaped boxes and containers in California and Hawaii . . . balloons in Alabama . . . doilies in Colorado . . . and heart-shaped drinking glasses in Wisconsin.
3. Home décor: Heart-shaped furniture is popular in a few states . . . Michigan likes heart-shaped candles . . . Virginia is googling heart-shaped tubs . . . and Montana it looking for heart-shaped inflatable pools. (In February???)
4. Fashion items: Connecticut wants heart-shaped earrings. Meanwhile, West Virginia wants heart-shaped plugs or “gauges” for their ears. Also, heart-shaped high heels in Louisiana . . . purses in Illinois . . . and Tennessee is looking for heart-shaped “rings with [the letter] P”.
5. Three things didn’t fit any of those categories: Heart-shaped lighters in Washington . . . heart-shaped bandages in Nevada . . . and heart-shaped bubble wrap in Wyoming. (Yes, even that exists.)
