Since Valentine's Day is ostensibly a holiday about passion, I guess it makes sense that people feel strongly about their V-Day candy. Take, for instance, this e-mail I received last week: "Russell Stover has terrorized enough Valentine's Days. He MUST BE STOPPED!" And then I heard a parade of protesters marching down the street: "Hey hey, ho ho, Russell Stover's got to go!" (OK, that didn't really happen.) But I figured it might be time to do a taste test of popular Valentine's candies, to get a sense of how good, bad and romantically effective they are.
