Brands obviously love their followers, but these days it’s beginning to feel like they love each other even more. What was a noticeably phenomenon during the Super Bowl, has only intensified this Valentine’s Day. Have you felt the love?
Here’s a few brands gettin’ it on today. Get a chat room, guys:

This isn’t directed toward another brand, but it made us wonder how many people down Pepto-Bismol after that first kiss:

Charmin. Never one to shy away from cute-but-corny puns:
