Valentine’s Day Puns

Welcome to the Punpedia entry on Valentine’s Day puns! 💘 😘 🍬

While Valentine’s Day may be celebrated differently in every country, it always has the same meaning: a celebration of love. While Valentine’s Day may have originated from a recognition of romantic love specifically, today we celebrate and appreciate all of the different types of loves we experience in our lives, including that felt between family and friends – even teachers will get platonic Valentine’s gifts from students, and Galentine’s day (where women celebrate their female friendships, recognised on the 13th of Feb) is becoming more popular too.

In past years, Valentine’s Day celebrations have excluded love that doesn’t fit a romantic heterosexual stereotype. Many cultures and countries are slowly becoming more aware and accepting of all types of love from all types of people, and that’s what we hope to celebrate with our cheesy, lovey-dovey pun list. Whether you’re gay, bi, poly, aromantic, demigray, non-binary, homoromantic but heterosexual, or in the process of figuring things out, we welcome you here and hope that you enjoy our Valentine’s Day pun list.

While this list is as thorough as we could make it, it is specific to puns relating to Valentine’s Day. We also have lists of chocolate puns and holiday puns, and have a lists of love puns and friendship puns in the works too!

Chocolate Puns

Welcome to the Punpedia entry on chocolate puns! 🍫 🐰 🍬 ❤

Chocolate is an internationally loved treat that comes in many forms (bar, truffle, sauce, syrup, chips, pastilles), flavours (strawberry, caramel, mint, etc) and types (milk, dark, white and ruby). As well as enjoying it on its own, we use it as a flavouring for biscuits, breads, and other desserts (like ice cream) and in pastries. We even have a couple of holidays where chocolate is a main feature – Easter and Valentine’s day. It’s everywhere! So help spread the love with our list of chocolate puns.

Unfortunately, the dairy industry that chocolate relies on is not so lovable – it’s a system that profits from abuse and and neglect, with the suffering always ending in death. It’s an industry that we don’t need to participate in, are there are plenty of  dairy-free chocolates that we can enjoy instead (and lots of recipes to try!).

In this list, we’ve tried to include chocolate flavours, shapes, types and related words (like “melt”) as well as the more popular chocolate bar names, brands and manufacturers. So no matter what you’re here for – whether it’s a sweet one-liner, saucy hashtag or a bitterly punny comeback, we hope to have you covered here.

If you’re after related puns, we also have cocoa puns, milk puns, coffee puns, ice cream puns, cow puns, candy puns, nut puns and cake puns. We’ve also got a Valentine’s Day pun list and an Easter list!

Ice Cream Puns

Welcome to the Punpedia entry on ice cream puns! 🍦🍨🥄✨

Ice cream comes in many different forms (cake, sandwich, cone, cup), flavours (chocolate, strawberry, mint, etc) and variations (gelato, sorbet, froyo) and all of these are loved around the world. We enjoy ice cream as a dessert all on its own, and as a frosty accompaniment to other foods and drinks, like apple pie, cakes, waffles, milkshakes and soft drinks. Even though it’s a frozen treat, we consume it year round, and is known both as a comfort food and a cheerful summer snack – not something most foods can pull off.

We do need to be aware that the industries behind ice cream are not as wholesome and lovable as the product itself – ice cream relies heavily on the dairy industry, which is responsible for suffering on a mass scale. Luckily, there are plenty of non-dairy ice cream options, with coconut milk, almond milk and soy ice creams (as well as sorbet!) now readily available.

We hope that whatever you were looking for – be it a witty instagram caption, a sweet pick up line (…we do not advise using puns for this) or a punny Facebook post – you were able to find it here.

While this list is as extensive and thorough as we could make it, it is specific to ice cream puns. If you’re interested in related puns, you might like our cow puns, milk puns, chocolate punscake puns, candy puns or fruit puns. We’ve also got entries for chocolate, dessert and cookies underway!
