This Saturday your odds of getting laid will be increased. Why? Because it’s Sweetest Day! Never heard of such a holiday? You aren’t the only one.

Once upon a time in a land far far away known as Cleveland, Ohio lived twelve “giving” men who worked for big man candy maker C.C. Hartzell. Together, these twelve men came up with the idea to have “The Sweetest Day of the Year,” which would be a day that candy maker C.C. Hartzell would donate and distribute over twenty-thousand boxes of candy to newsboys, orphans, elderly, the poor and anyone considered less fortunate. A full page editorial appeared in the The Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper declaring the third Saturday in October to be The Sweetest Day of the Year. This full page article called it a sacred duty to take the time to buy sweets for the ones they love and the less fortunate. This made some people wonder if the article was just an advertising scheme to benefit candy maker C.C. Hartzell or if the day was truly meant to bring cheer and love to others.

Even if The Sweetest Day of the Year (today simply referred to as Sweetest Day) was just a well thought out advertising scheme, it has slowly been making its way out of the Midwest. year by year. and embraced by more than just confectioneries. Card companies, florists, restaurants, lingerie companies, even songwriters have cashed in on this twentieth century established holiday by luring women in. Today, Sweetest Day is more about showing your appreciation for the one you love instead of taking time for the less fortunate.

If your girlfriend has any idea about Sweetest Day, then she is expecting something special. You have two options; object to it or embrace it. The first option is you can play the “it’s a Hallmark Holiday” card and protest the day. If you do choose this option, it is likely she will give you the silent treatment bringing your odds of getting laid down to very slim or none. Your second option would be to embrace this silly holiday with flowers, dinner, chocolate or even just a card, therein increasing your odds of getting laid. She doesn’t care that it is a stupid holiday and she wants to be reassured of your love with material objects.

Have a happy Sweetest Day!
