About National Sweetest Day
A lot of people assume Sweetest Day, the third Saturday in October, was created by greeting card companies.
But Hallmark said it was invented by Herbert Birch Kingston, an employee at a Cleveland candy company around 1922.
He gave candy and small gifts to orphans and shut-ins to show them that they were not forgotten, Hallmark spokesman Rachel Bolton said.
