Bittersweet Valentine

You can count on the clever folks at Despair, Inc. to understand the true nature of Valentine's day. This year they're introducing their Bittersweets line of candies. These are a line of those chalky little candies with a set of more realistic sayings on them than you'll find on the ones in the stores. Some examples:

• TABLE FOR 1
• DIGNITY FREE
• SETTLE 4LESS
• CALL A 900#
• U+ME=GRIEF
• UP YER MEDS

Interestingly, Despair, Inc. is a Texas company. Dr. E.L. Kersten, the founder and COO of Despair, Inc., is located in Dallas, with the main operation being in Austin.
