The Heart Shaped Box

The Cadbury brothers, Richard and George, introduced the heart-shaped box of chocolates in 1868, linking chocolate to Valentine’s Day. Their innovation led to the modern tradition of giving chocolates as gifts on Valentine’s Day, with millions of heart-shaped boxes sold worldwide, making it a multi-billion-dollar industry.
