Who invented the first heart-shaped Valentine's Day Candy box in 1861? A - Richard Cadbury
B - Russell Stover
C - Milton Hershey
D - Henri Nestlé
Answer: A - Richard Cadbury In 1822, John Cadbury opened a tea and coffee shop in Birmingham, England. He soon expanded into chocolate manufacturing, and in 1861 his son Richard greatly increased sales by packaging Cadbury chocolates in the world's first heart shaped candy box for Valentine’s Day. Cadbury marketed the boxes as having a dual purpose: When the chocolates had all been eaten, the box itself could be used again to store mementos. The boxes grew increasingly elaborate until the outbreak of World War II, when sugar was rationed, and Valentine’s Day celebrations were scaled down.
