If everything in Cola got a Valentine’s Day card…
Happy Valentine’s Day, Cola. 💘 Remember way back when this day was simple? In elementary school you decorated a shoebox + collected paper cards from everyone in class. 💌 In middle school, you sent your friends those $1 roses or candy-grams sold in the cafeteria. 🌹 In high school, you low-key wished you were the person walking down the hall with that giant stuffed animal. In college, Valentine’s Day was just another made-up Hallmark holiday – so you went out and cheersed with your friends, instead. 🍷
But today, we’re throwing it back to the beginning. Colum-bae is our true love – so we’re handing out Valentine’s Day cards to all the things + places in Columbia that we adore so much. 💋 If this was real, here’s what we would drop in their pink + red bedazzled shoe boxes.
We just plane like you, CAE.
Thank you for keeping me grounded, Drip.
Dear Nightcaps mozz sticks: I know this is cheesy, but we think you’re grate.
