Valentine's Day Origins: Fox News spoke to expert Nikki Lewis who deals with love year-round to learn more about the heart-filled holiday.
Valentine’s Day is celebrated each Feb. 14 — and this year a cookie company is offering customers a chance to be single just in time for the holiday.
Insomnia Cookies announced the release of custom cookie delivery boxes ahead of Valentine’s Day to break up in a "low-key" fashion with your fling before the day of love arrives.
The company, a cookie brand based in Pennsylvania, is offering a limited-time cookie box called the "It’s Not Me, It’s You" pack.

Upon the package's arrival, recipients of the box of warm cookies will open the lid to read a special message from the sender.
Options for the message include, "It’s not me, it’s you," "You’re sweet, but not my taste," "Have the hots for your roommate," and "We’re done. Have a nice life."

Insomnia said in a press release that the cookie delivery messaging is a "very unserious way of ending things, since warm cookies [are] better than a cold heart."

"Breaking up with your significant other can be a real downer, so we wanted to provide a lighthearted — somewhat unserious — alternative to a text message for Insomniacs whose current flings have crumbled," she said.
The late-night cookie delivery brand started when founder Seth Berkowitz wanted a sweet and warm treat delivered to his dorm room at the University of Pennsylvania in 2003, according to the brand’s website.

With an idea and a dream, Berkowitz then opened its first brick-and-mortar store in Syracuse, New York, in 2006 — and the brand has been growing ever since.
