History of the Heart Shape

Nowadays we know that the popular heart shape that's associated with love doesn't really look like an actual, anatomical heart. So when we eat heart-shaped candy, what are we actually eating?

Theories abound on where the original heart shape came from. While some say it's the same shape as an extinct plant, others say it came from the musings of philosopher Aristotle who described the heart as having "three chambers with a dent in the middle". And while the beloved heart shape does a pretty good job of looking like that description, we now know that our four-chambered hearts doesn't look like Aristotle imagined.

So when you suck on a heart-shaped lollipop, you're actually enjoying a treat made possible by the assumptions of an ancient philosopher many, many years ago.
