SKYWATCH FRIDAY - A Kiss in the Sky
People in Hershey, Pennsylvania, get 'kissed' every day, if they look up and see these overhead street lights. They don't melt, either! (These aluminum foil-covered candies are called 'Hershey's Kisses.')
That's so cool! All of a sudden I'm tasting H's chocolate! Thanks for the virtual non-caloric treat! (I'm down another couple lbs, BTW and that makes 15 since mother's day). Virtual is all the chocolate I'm doing. :-)
"Hershey's Kisses were introduced in 1907. While it's not known exactly how KISSES got their name, it is a popular theory that the candy was named for the sound or motion of the chocolate being deposited during the manufacturing process."

I wonder if people get tempted to try and open it? :-) Very nic shot by the way.
The kiss is charming. The sky is wonderful.
Wow -- I had no idea the town was THIS into the whole chocolate thing! Looks like you picked a gorgeous day to visit>

They really are carrying this to an extreme;but a nice extreme.
Nice!
A very American, Pennsylvanian Skywatch. Great for your Belgrade buddies! Lovely!
Fantastic!
This a whole new world to be. I would quite happily be kissed by that funny little light every day.
I am thinking about the one who got this "perfect" idea...
Hi, all!
James, actually there's another brown version that is a Kiss without the foil!
what a great post today.
Very cute! The perfect place for chocoholics!

Why are those called kisses? Any ideas?
MileKick,
Here's what Wikipedia has to say:
"Hershey's Kisses were introduced in 1907. While it's not known exactly how KISSES got their name, it is a popular theory that the candy was named for the sound or motion of the chocolate being deposited during the manufacturing process."
Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. Could have checked it myself I guess. Now I feel dumb... :P
