Dating App-Inspired Chocolates

This Valentine's Day Chocolate Bar References Tinder

— January 21, 2017 — Lifestyle
For the month of February, Dylan's Candy Bar released a fun set of Valentine's Day chocolate bars that feature words of modern romance such as "Text Me, Tweet Me, Feed Me," "#RelationshipGoals" and "I Swiped Right."

Knowing that there are a growing number of couples who met online, this last chocolate bar references the role of matchmaking dating websites and apps like Tinder today. To swipe right on the app means to approve of a potential match, making this sweet chocolate bar a perfect gift for a Valentine's Day date or a match met through the app.

This Valentine's Day chocolate bar is reminiscent of updated candy message hearts that have been updated with phrases that a Millennial might use, such as "We can still be friends on Facebook" or "Netflix & chill."
