A box of chocolates is the time-honored way to tell your Valentine, “Honey, I love you so much I spent big bucks on this delightfully packaged assortment of delicious bonbons.”
But if you don't choose your chocolate carefully, you may inadvertently send an altogether different message, such as “Honey, I'm such an ignorant clod that I bought you this box of waxy, artificially flavored chocolates made with cocoa beans harvested by child slave labor.”
