Did you know that in the 19th century, there was a trend of sending "Vinegar Valentines"? These cards weren't your typical sweet expressions of love. Instead, they delivered cheeky insults and humorous critiques to the recipient. Often featuring caricatures and witty rhymes, they were a way for people to send a playful jab to acquaintances or reject unwanted suitors. Imagine the surprise of receiving a card that reads more like a roast than a romance! This quirky tradition reminds us that Valentine's Day wasn't always about roses and chocolates. Have you ever sent or received a card with a twist like this?
