Raw fish is the gift for lovers.

I was shopping by myself this Valentines Day, as single people often do, when I came across this huge sushi roll at my local grocery store made special just for the holiday.

It made me feel really sad for the guy who would end up getting it for his girl thinking she might enjoy it more than the standard heart-shaped box of chocolates.

Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against the concept of heart-shaped sushi. It’s a cute idea. But it kind of loses it’s appeal when it’s so large you have to pick it up like a sandwich to eat it.

And what was most depressing was the label listing the expiration date as February 15, the day after Valentines Day.

Maybe every Valentines Day gift should come with that sticker.
