Valentine's Wasn't Always So Sweet

During the late 1800s, postage rates around the world dropped, and the obscene St. Valentine's Day card became popular, despite the Victorian era being otherwise very prudish.

As the numbers of racy valentines grew, several countries banned the practice of exchanging Valentine's Days cards. During this period, Chicago's post office rejected more than 25,000 cards on the grounds that they were so indecent, they were not fit to be carried through the U.S. mail.

Last year Intimate Surprises shipped more than 1,700 "surprises" via the USPS. Glad times have changed.

Get some guac with those chips!

Just the physical characteristics of this magical fruit are enough to lift your libido. In fact, the ancient Aztec name for avocado was "ahuacatl," or testicle.

So go ahead and have some guacamole with those chips, you'll both be happier!

Kick It Up a Notch!

Coincidentally, it's also capsaicin that gives food a hot, flavorful kick.
