I’ve written about this before but do you remember this guy?

During the Victoria Era, there was a thing called a “Vinegar Valentines”  That was when people would send each other Valentines that, instead of proclaiming love, would explain why someone was still single or that they shouldn’t trust their current companion.  The Snake In The Grass was an example of the type of Valentine that people used to get back then!  People could even get this one custom made to change the human face of the snake to make sure that it resembled whoever was being accusing.

Can you imagine getting one of those on February 14th?  I’m glad we don’t do that anymore!
