sweetest day (14)
parkercleveland, Ohio USA22 Threads 97 PostsOkay ... I never understood why there is "sweetest day" when we already have V-day.
Sweetest day was started in Oh. many yrs. ago by a chocolate factory worker,he coined the phrase and slowly it became popular as the day you give the sweetest candy to someone,soon it became something to give your romantic partner,then card co.s started making Sweetest day card(another way to profit).As time went on the tradition carried to a few other states.As the card co.s found profit so did others stores besides original stoe.Small Oh. town,don't remember who or where,sorry.
I agree it's another day people feel obligated to spend money.Like grandparents day.

I don't think that is why sweetest day was invented. I was told by the woman that does the cards at our store, that american greetings created that day many years ago. That is why alot of the big card companies don't carry sweetest day cards. Because american greetings has the rights to it.
I don't have all the facts but saw it on a Discovery channel.Show was about how things got started,that was 1 topic,maybe they were wrong and your lady is right
wasn't there at the time.
I do know that Sweetest Day was started right here in Ohio. I don't however know why. I don't think it was started as a for profit holiday, but like all other holidays it was corrupted by commerce. That is the true American way.
Any time a woman who is wearing lingerie in her pictures tells you something .... she is always right. hahaha
Yeah I think Sweetest Day is an Ohio only holiday or very few states celebrate it. :)
so did we decide if the holiday was lame?
I never give anything for sweetest day except for a verbal "happy sweet day" ... but been harped on about it.

Isnt every day sweetest day? If you love and care about the person you're with shouldn't that shown everyday? It doesn't make sense to me. We have Valentines day which doesn't make much sense to me either but Oh well
You guys are too mushy for me. haha
Hi all! Now, this is what I heard. I forgot the man's name, but it was started in Ohio by him for orphans and elderly people who felt left out on other holidays because these people had no family and were basically forgotten. So, he created Sweetest Day by giving them cards and chocolate, but nowadays the card companies made it something else and made it like V-Day, which is a shame.
Sweetest day was actually started in the early 17th century. It honors St. Sweetest, who used to bring chocolates and hard candies to the poor and down trodden youth of western europe. Much like Santa Claus (St. Nicholas)
And I'm so full of s*it it makes me sick sometimes!
