Description

For over a century the New England Confectionery Company, better known as NECCO, had been making those iconic Valentine's Day candies with messages like "BE MINE" and "MISS YOU."

David Meyers speaks to TicToc's Alexis Benveniste on how companies across the country are fighting to fill the hole in America's heart-candy desires.
