i think the idea here is the old stunt "oh no i´m not crying im like these because im cutting onions" but in this case you are not cutting any onions, so theres no excuse, you are really crying because you loose blah blah...
Nice idea, i feel it a little forced but i like it

Nice concept.. The inside of the pepper is heart shaped. I think that the copy could have done a better job of bringing it together.
