50 Valentine’s Day Design Fails That Are So Bad, It’s Hard To Believe They Actually Happened (New Pics)
Interview With Expert
It’s that time of the year, Pandas! The time for heart-shaped candies, ‘I heart you’ balloons, and bad love puns. You might hate the commercialization of the day that’s supposed to represent love and connection. But you can’t deny that with loads of merchandise comes the opportunity to laugh at some fails.
We’ve scoured the Internet and found the best of the worst. From funny spelling mistakes and cringy design choices to some absurdly grotesque Valentine’s products. You mean to tell me they sell heart-shaped beef? Bacon strips shaped to look like a rose? That’s the level of silliness I’m always up for!
Because it's Valentine's Day, Bored Panda reached out to Ireland's #1 dating and relationship expert Frances Kelleher. She was kind enough to tell us why February 14th matters and how coupled (and single!) people can make this day extra special!

His Name Is Artin, But I Named Him Soulless
I got this for my girlfriend as a joke for Valentine’s Day. I’m not a huge fan but I support her obsession and I love her, so I just go with it. But the joke is that I felt like I was being stared at by “Soulless Creatures”. Well, I was at the store today and noticed this dude was missing a face, so I named it Soulless.

At first, you’re distracted by the fact that it’s so low-effort, like someone made it in 15 minutes using the world’s worst clip art. But then you realize that both bees and bears start with b, and what the hell is that nightmare that’s apparently a “numbat”? And when you get past all that, your 2-year-old points out that the book just skipped x and y, and went from w to z, and this is just surrealism.

I'll grant the received bouquet does not match the advertisement. But *some* of the problem is the difference in light levels. Brighter light would have made that look a little cheerier. Can't do anything about the sparse number of blossoms, though...

Went to the store yesterday, to pick up some Valentine's candy for my kids. The employees were in the middle of swapping it out with Easter candy. At noon, on Valentine's Day. Same thing happened last year, on Halloween. They Halloween candy, was all replaced with Christmas stuff. It's getting ridiculous!

In all fairness to Easter this year, Lent did start on Valentine's Day.
