The Top Heart-Shaped Items We’re Googling for Valentine’s Day

Heart-shaped chocolates? Old news. In 2025, every state has its own weird heart-shaped obsession—from taco platters to bubble wrap. Here’s what your state is Googling for Valentine’s Day.

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.  (Like earrings, but they fill your whole earlobe.)

Also, heart-shaped high heels in Louisiana . . . purses in Illinois . . . and Tennessee is looking for heart-shaped “rings with [the letter] P”.  (???)  (I feel like one guy with a wife named Peg went on a real deep dive for that one.)

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.)

Meet Scott and Sadie: the anti-heroes of morning radio turned podcast renegades. Scott’s 40 years in broadcasting have left him fluent in snark, while Sadie’s nepotistic origins (thanks, Mom!) brought the unfiltered charm that made them a Northern Colorado favorite. After corporate radio ghosted them harder than a bad Tinder date, the duo ditched FCC babysitters and went full rogue. Now, they’re back with a podcast that’s equal parts wit, sarcasm, and a big middle finger to mediocrity. Loyal fans, curious newcomers, or algorithm strays—welcome to the chaos.
