According to an article by the Cleveland Plain-Dealer newspaper, Sweetest Day began in 1921, created as a promotional holiday by Cleveland’s candy manufacturing companies (I swear! It's on Wikipedia). Despite its roots as a promotional holiday, Sweetest Day is a moderately popular holiday throughout the Midwest. Often, Sweetest Day is described as a sort-of ‘reverse Valentine’s Day’ where girls treat boys.
[A kiss for your sweet on Sweetest Day isn't a bad way to show your affection!
