Sealed with a Kiss

First off, I would like to thank the only six people who have voted on my poll. Thank you all very much. Secondly, in my study of Hershey Kisses I have found some more facts I think everyone should know. Again, these are excerpts from the Hershey Kiss website.

The basic concept of the present day wrapping for HERSHEY'S KISSES Brand Chocolates dates back to a single channel wrapper in developed in August 1921. The familiar KISSES flag was added to the product at this time (later pattened by Milton S. Hershey, founder, in 1924). Before these automated wrapping machines, KISSES were individually hand wrapped. Today's wrapping machines can wrap up to 1,300 KISSES a minute!

While the shape of HERSHEY'S KISSES Brand Chocolates have not changed, there were a few variation produced between 1909 and 1931. They uttilized different chocolate formulas which were offered in addition to the standard HERSHEY'S milk chocolate flavor. Names familiar to some long time chocolate lovers include: Sweethearts (1900 to 1918), Silver Tops (1909 to 1931), and Silverpoints (1918 to 1929). These products have not been produced since 1931.
