Love Hearts are a type of confectionery manufactured by Swizzels Matlow in the United Kingdom. They are hard, tablet-shaped sweets in various fruit flavors featuring a short, love-related message on one side of the sweet. They are an updated version of Victorian-era Conversation Lozenges On chewing, the sweet quickly disintegrates into a powdery, starchy consistency Love Hearts currently come in six flavors, each associated with a color (listed from weakest to strongest flavor):.. White (a plain, sherbet-like, slightly tart vanilla flavor) Yellow (a sherbet-like flavor with a distinct sharp lemon aftertaste) Green (a slight lime flavor with a sherbet-like aftertaste) Orange (a sweet flavor with a slight orange aftertaste) Purple (an unusual, slightly perfumed berry-like flavor with a strong aftertaste) Red (cherry flavor) There are many different messages which can be found on the front of the sweet, most of which are love-related. The message is written in capitals in a sans serif font of varying size. The font is scaled and sometimes stretched out of proportion to fit the available space. Most messages are written in simple horizontal, centrally aligned lines. There are some exceptions to this rule, including the phrase "I Surrender", where the word surrender has been written in an arc around the lower inside edge of the heart outline. The "Just Say No" message has an unclear layout, appearing to read "Just say No". Wayne and Coleen Rooney had personalized sweets made for their wedding in the summer of 2008 which read "Wayne and Coleen". Special edition Love heart packs were launched for Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding in 2011
