Who knew Valentine's Day could be so divisive? Hindu hardliners burn Valentine cards

(On a tangent: the more I stare at the word "divisive," the more sure I am that I've spelled it wrong. I think it's the palindromic center, "visiv," that makes it look so weird. (On a separate tangent: where can I find chocolates with a creamy palindromic center?))
And, on a more humorous note, The Onion presents Love Coupons! Samples: "One dinner at restaurant with silverware"; "Five minutes of open, honest conversation before the wall of denial and deception slams back down forever."

Easy, but less tasty would be chocolate covered naan (Indian bread, not very creamy) or chocolate covered Goog (Australian slang for egg).

Apparently 'ananas' is French for pineapple.
Here's another place to get them.
