Confectionery manufacturer Swizzels who produces the iconic British sweets with messages of love ❤️ on, Love Hearts, is giving itself a modern makeover in the form of emojis ?.

Since their creation in 1954, Love Hearts have undergone a number of transformations ? to keep up with ever-changing language ?.

If you’re worried we’ve lost the words ? on Love Hearts altogether, don’t fret. Brand Manager, Claire Lee, said: “Emojis ? are one of the newest and most popular ways to communicate ?, so adding them to our more traditional messages allows Love Hearts to appeal to both the younger ? and older ? generations.”
