Please, he's uber in the den with dangerous Day. Well,
you know. Heart shaped boxes of chocolate have been a
thing for over one hundred and fifty years. Richard Cadbury
sold the first one for Valentine's Day in nineteen sixty eight.
It's twenty twenty five now, So why do we have
heart shaped everything? Google looked at the top heart shaped
products each state googled more than any other state. They

(00:20):
broke it down into five categories. Food related products. Some
of these are normal, like heart shaped candy in New York,

buns of New Mexico, marshmallows in Florida, and Iowa wants

fashion items Connecticut wants heart shaped earrings. West Virginia looking

heart shape bubble wrap and Wyoming. And if you wondered, yes,
heart shape bubble wrap does exist. So what do you
give it to somebody and say, go ahead and pop
my heart deeper in the two? Well, did you know
today was Happy National Makeup Friend Day? When was the
last time you made a new one? A poll found
thirty nine percent of Americans haven't had a new friend

(01:44):
in over a year, So they asked Reddit for advice.
Somebody commented, find a place where you would find friends regularly.
In other words, don't expect to meet somebody once, immediately
hit it off and become best buds overnight. Find something
to keep going back to coffee shop or maybe a
hobby or even a church. It needs to be something
that you're into and you keep seeing the same people

(02:06):
over again and again. After a while, you invite them
to do something outside of the place that they're known from.
That's where friendships start. That apparently is the reason a
lot of people become friends with coworkers you see them.
A lot just happens less now that a lot of
people are not necessarily working in the office, or if
they do, they're still trying to stay away from people.
If you're working remotely, it's tougher to make new friends.

(02:29):
You have to create some scenarios for yourself to do so,
but national make a friend day. I guess that's why
a lot of my friends are people that I've worked
with at one time, or went to school with, or
just kept stalking to it again. For another episode of
