7 Snacks That Say “I Love You”

What’s your love language? For some of us, it’s food! If you buy us food, we don’t even bother to play hard to get, you’ve already won our heart!

To think that someone saw a meal, thought of you, imagined you enjoying it and went ahead to buy it for you is just top-tier love, if you ask me. If your partner does this for you, please hold them close especially in this economy where food is expensive. 

Yet, when we say that meals; including snacks, are a symbol of love we are not referring to beans (except your partner genuinely loves beans of course). Let’s explore seven snacks that say ‘I love you’ from a ladies perspective!

Popcorn

Popcorn, that buttery and crunchy treat, is more than just a movie-watching snack, it’s a heartwarming expression of love and togetherness! 

Think of the way popcorn pops when heated, expanding and bursting with a warmth and enthusiasm that mirrors the excitement and energy of a new relationship. And the way each corn seed is unique, with its own shape and size, is a reminder of the quirks that make your partner so special.

When you share a bowl of popcorn, you are engaging in a playful ritual that speaks to the comfort and intimacy of your love.

Doughnuts 

A doughnut, on the surface, may seem like just a sweet, sugary treat. But in the language of love, it can speak volumes. By sharing a doughnut with someone, you are offering them a special, indulgent moment that says “I’m thinking of you, and I want you to feel good.” 

Imagine waking up on a lazy Sunday morning to the aroma of freshly-baked doughnuts, hand-picked and delivered by your sweetheart. Each bite would be a reminder of their thoughtfulness, their affection, and their desire to see you smile. Just don’t buy them milky doughnuts abeg. That pandemic needs to be wiped off the face of the earth.

Chinese Food 

Chinese food is the culinary language of love! Chinese cuisine is rich with symbolism and meaning, which can make it a powerful tool for expressing your feelings.

Take, the beloved dish of dumplings, for instance. Each dumpling represents a symbol of wealth and abundance, but also of unity and togetherness. By sharing a plate of dumplings with your loved ones, you are not only sharing a delicious meal, but also expressing your wish for a prosperous and harmonious future together. 

And then there’s the tradition of sharing food from a single plate, which symbolizes the spirit of togetherness and intimacy. By sharing a dish, you are creating a bond of shared experiences and emotions.

Pizza

Pizza, the cheesy and saucy masterpiece, is not just a tasty snack, but a love letter on a plate. 

How so? The circular shape of the pizza, symbolizes unity, completeness, and eternity. When you share a pizza with someone you love, you are symbolically creating a never-ending circle of love and commitment.

And let’s not forget about the toppings! Each topping represents a unique aspect of your love and devotion.

Burger 

The burger is more than just a sandwich, it’s a sizzling declaration of love! 

The bun represents the foundation of your relationship, a sturdy base that can withstand the test of time. And the patty, the heart and soul of the burger, is a symbol of your undying commitment and loyalty.

The toppings, too, add their own unique expressions of love. The onions represents honesty and transparency, while the pickles symbolize the playful banter and shared laughter that enriches your bond. (I don’t like pickles sha so if you love me and you’re reading this, take note.)

Ice cream 

This cool and creamy confection is more than just a sweet treat – it’s a frozen symbol of love! 

Think about it: the creaminess of the ice cream represents the smoothness and comfort that your partner brings into your life, while the sweetness is a reminder of the joy and happiness that your love brings.

And then there’s the variety of flavors! Each flavor becomes a unique expression of your affection, from the bold and daring mint flavor, which symbolizes your adventurous spirit, to the classic vanilla, which represents your steadfast devotion and reliability.

What’s your favourite ice cream flavor? Also, Ice Cream Factory, Cold Stone or Frozen Rolls?

A box of chocolates

Chocolates have been the most popular snacks that say ‘I love you’ since…forever? A box of assorted chocolates is a declaration of love, a symbol of sweetness that speaks volumes about your affection! 

Each piece of chocolate bears a message of devotion and adoration. The milk chocolate might represent the richness and depth of your relationship, while the white chocolate symbolizes the purity and innocence of your love. The dark chocolate, with its bold and intense flavor, signifies your passion and intensity.

And when you share a box of chocolates, you are engaging in a playful ritual that speaks to the joy and spontaneity of your love. 

Honorable Mention:

Suya (for sapa-afflicted people😜)

Suya, the irresistible Nigerian delight, is more than just meat and spices. It is a sizzling proclamation of love and devotion! 

The suya spice, with its blend of exotic flavors and fiery heat, represents the passion and intensity of your love, while the tenderness of the meat signifies your gentle and caring nature. And when you share a stick of suya, you are engaging in a ritual that speaks to the excitement and adventure that comes with being in love. Plus, you don’t need to break the bank for it. With 2k, you can buy your babe a sizeable portion of Suya. Pair it with a nice cool drink for that perfect finish.
