- Killed production from 1942 to 1949 due to the rationing of raw materials during WWII made the aluminum foil for the wrappers a scarce commodity!
- Inserted paper plume started in 1924, as the registered trademark!
- Soley made of milk chocolate originally in 1907, the kiss now comes in a variety of flavors!
- Smooch ~ yes, the sound of the motion of the chocolate being deposited during the manufacturing process is how the kiss got it's name!
Okay Betsy! You have officially got me craving some Kisses. Aren't they the greatest comfort food? I enjoy all the new flavors. I wish I could stop at just one.
ReplyDeleteI want one now - the chocolate version! And now I know more about them!
ReplyDeleteinteresting tid bits on the kiss. wonder if there is a vid around that captures the production...nice pics as well. happy tt!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of Hershey's Kisses alright. I have a sister an air hostess, goes to the States all the time. Must ask her to bring me some...
ReplyDeleteCould you imagine if they stopped making Kisses today?! I'd go crazy. lol
ReplyDeleteYou are so good at this!;)
ReplyDeleteHershey's kissed used to be my favourite chocolate treat when I was living in the US.:)
Have a "sweet" Thursday.;))
xo
Looks...delicious lol
ReplyDeleteI did not know any of that and it's wonderful trivia. My mother kept a bowl of Hershey kisses in the house at all times. My husband, who was my boyfriend way back then, remembers that above all things.
ReplyDeleteOh great! Now I'm craving chocolate and pizza-LOL! Nice little history of the "Kiss", Betsy :)
ReplyDeleteHey, I didn't know that's why they called them kisses! Now I've got to go find some chocolate...
ReplyDeleteWillow ~ I didn't know that about the sound, either! It's kinda cute...and it probably is a big sound with hundreds of them being processed at once! :)
ReplyDeleteGaelikaa ~ yes, you must have your sister bring you some kisses! They are an American icon....super sweet milk chocolate....and like I said in the post, they've been around since 1907.
ReplyDeleteI immediately thought of chocolate kisses as well--just goes to show where my mind is at! I love the pictures you posted. And I didn't know that's how they got their name!
ReplyDeleteOH! How I love them!
ReplyDeleteI need to make a batch of those irresistible cookies with a sweet kiss in the middle!!!
DIVINE!
Kissing and chocolate...I didn't think you could have it all...
ReplyDeleteI've never even heard of chocolate kisses. They sound delightful. Send a food parcel immediately
ReplyDeletelove this candy ....and this theme!
ReplyDeleteGreat one Betsy....
ReplyDeletePoor Alan, never heard of chocolate kisses...you must send him a package Betsy!
Kisses...yum!!!!
ReplyDeletenanny ~ I'm considering it...and some for gaelikka, too! Nobody should go through life not knowing what a Hershey's kiss is!
ReplyDeleteWho knew!? what goes better with a kiss than chocolate!
ReplyDeleteSweet, very sweet! -Jayne
ReplyDeleteYou know, I expected Hershey's Kisses to be a popular item today, but out of 23 TT posts viewed so far, yours is the first! Amazing! And good research job on all those little bits of info.
ReplyDeleteHi! Betsy,

Thanks, for sharing!
By the way, Congratulation!

DeeDee ;-D
Very nice post. Lots of info I did not know.
ReplyDeleteLove the old add signs.
Thanks for the visit to my kissing site.
I've always loved that postage stamp, too! Love kisses, of the chocolate kind I mean. I so enjoyed reading about them. Fantastic info!
ReplyDeleteHow could anyone not know about the chocolate kiss? I'm curious now about where Alan lives. He definitely needs some.
You just made me want to go to hershey park!!!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteKayren ~ Alan is in the UK and Gaelikaa is in India. Who knew there were places that the kisses didn't go!
ReplyDeleteI've never had a Kiss. I don't think you can beg, steal or buy a Kiss in Englandistan.
ReplyDeleteOh, what wouldn't I give for a Kiss!
Haha . . surprisingly, American chocolate is not very popular over here despite Hershey's attempt to crack the market. I think we have to much lovely European chocolate! I'm a peanut butter cup fan myself!
ReplyDeleteOH- I've never heard of these before- they sound yummy.
ReplyDeleteBaino ~ actually, I agree with you! The kisses are almost too sweet for me. I'd much rather have something dark and European!
ReplyDeleteHope all is going well as we enter the "dog days of summer!" Take care. Strider
ReplyDeleteFun! One flavor I love is the Candy Cane flavor at Christmas time. Mmmmmm :)
ReplyDeleteAre they like milk duds?
ReplyDeleteKris ~ no, Milk Duds are entirely different....but good, too! :)
ReplyDeleteSWEEEET!!! Wonderful take on this prompt!!
ReplyDeleteVery neatly done. I think I will have to eat one in celebration!!
ReplyDeleteSweet Kisses! We Dont Have Them in England.any chance of a Food Parcel?!!!
ReplyDeleteRight, this is the SECOND blog post I'm reading tonight about Hershey Kisses, and I so want some. Awwww, how it sucks that I've eaten all the ones I bought on my last visit to the US.
ReplyDeleteLove the old add signs.And chocolate kisses ... wow ... can you wish for anything better :-)
