Did You Know – Hershey Kisses

These delicious chocolate treats have been around since 1907 and were hand wrapped until 1921.
Machines can wrap 1,300 chocolate kisses per minute with a paper flag that tells the flavor or filling inside. 80 million Hershey Kisses are made everyday with the machines making 20,000 per minute.
It is believed they were named “Kisses” because when the machine releases the melted chocolate to form the shape, it makes a smooching sound like somebody kissing.
Now for hide and seek. Did you know there is a hidden Hershey Kiss image on the front of the bag above? No it’s not the one sitting on the foil like my husband said!
If you find the image just say “I found it” in the comments, don’t ruin it for everyone else. If you can’t find it say “I can’t find it” in the comments and I will reveal where it is later.
I have not been compensated for this post.

Hidden chocolate Kiss is between the K and the I, see below!

I saw it, Diane!!
I can’t believe I never noticed it before now. That was very sneaky! Lol
Okay Diane, you gave away the secret too fast, lol. It’s amazing the information we put in our minds. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome!
I did not see the hidden kiss on the bag
I also did not know about the smooch sound – and must say that Hershey’s really came up with a great idea with these signature chocolate drops. I don’t eat them – but I used to
And in 2005 I brought a large bag to baby shower and it was such a hit! They had lots of treats and other food but everyone wanted those Hershey kisses
They always disappear fast Yvette. When my granddaughter was young, I set one Hershey Kiss on the counter where she sits every time she came here. It was a kiss from Grandma. Then my grandson came along and I had to leave one for him too. Then they were here all the time and I was going broke buying Hershey Kisses so I stopped. Lol Check back in a day or two and I will update the post to tell where the hidden Kiss is, you will kick yourself!
Okay – i will check back!
And how cute to leave the grandma kiss like that

Do you remember when the GIANT Hershey’s kisses came out – I remember buying them and I think they were five dollars
Anyhow – the inky chocolate I eat is 85% dark chocolate or Lily’s brand (stevia and no sugar- but it can be expensive and so I don’t buy that brand a lot – hoping the prices come down on stevia chocolate options)
☀️😊
Oh yes I remember how difficult they were to eat! Isn’t it sad the things that are healthier cost more, makes me crazy!
it is not fair that the healthier stuff does cost so much more – sigh!
and I do not recall ever eating one of those huge hershey kisses – I just remember buying one as a gift – and then I remember when they changed the foil color sometimes – 🙂
Thank you Ned! 🥰
I had to ‘study’ the bag carefully … but yes, I found it too!
Yay! It was a tough one to find.
Will you let us know? I can’t find it. In Hershey, PA they have a museum and they show the chairs the mostly women sat in to wrap the candy and tell how most were new immigrants. I didn’t know it made a kiss sound – I thought it was because they were little.
I sure will! We vacationed at Hershey when my daughter was young. My favorite part after doing a tour was they gave us each a candy bar at the end. Lol
Yes, it’s a fun place. Chocolate everywhere – even kisses on the street lights!
I find US chocolate far too sweet for my taste
I wish I did too! 🤣 Did you find the hidden kiss?
I confess, I didn’t look
Found it! 🙂

Good eye!
Thank you, Diane!
That’s a lot of Kisses! 😊 I love these chocolates, with a slight preference for “Hugs.”
I love Hugs too as I love white chocolate! Did you find the hidden kiss on the bag?
Nope. I looked again and I’m trying to do with my eyes crossed – while waiting on the platform with strangers for my bus ride home from work – and I still don’t see it. 😆 you need to do a follow up post and let us know where it is!
I will be revealing the hidden kiss shortly.
I’m looking it now again. I see it now!
Woo hoo!
I did not know! I love these!
Did you find the hidden chocolate kiss on the bag?
No 😔
I will be sharing where it is shortly.
You had me at chocolate. I found it, but I had to look a bit.
And Hershey chocolate, for me, is the best! Thanks Betty!
I love this story of the kisses
Me too Beth, Hershey is my favorite chocolate! Thank you 🥰
I almost gave up, but I found it. So obvious now. When I look at that big kiss on the bag, it reminds me of that Lucy episode where they are working in the candy factory. I didn’t know how they got the name, but that is a great story.
It wasn’t easy to see was it! Loved that episode of I Love Lucy! We are showing our age with that one! 🥰
🧓😂
That was fun! Found it!
I agree! BTW your home page is such a blast from the past, I loved it!
Thank you! I try to pack a bunch of 70’s visuals and music in all of the stories. It makes me happy to know you enjoy it because I love your blog.
Awe thank you for that!
Found it! Very clever!
I don’t know how many time we saw that bag and never knew!
I found it but never noticed before – fun! And by the way, a summer during college I worked at the Hershey chocolate factory. I spent most of that summer cleaning cocoa bean roasters, but spent one night on the Hershey’s kiss wrapping machine. Hundreds of kisses streamed by me in multiple rows, and I had to pull out any that were misshapen to be remelted again. It felt like that “I Love Lucy” episode.
Hahaha all I can picture is the I Love Lucy episode now! Anyhow, I never noticed it either Pam and what the heck, you had to remelt the chocolate, be honest, you had to have slipped a few into your mouth right? 🤣
Actually all employees were allowed to eat as much chocolate or nuts as they wanted while at work. You just couldn’t take any with you. Some people really enjoyed that benefit!
Oh heck yes! They probably couldn’t take any with them because they couldn’t fit through the door after eating so much! 😂
Ha, ha! I won’t dispute that!
Found it! Very clever!
I never even knew it was there until now Nancy!
Neither did I, Diane, but I rarely buy Kisses – only around Halloween and Christmas – and they’re usually in a bag with other mini Hershey chocolates. Nice little trivia fact!
Dont know why you landed in spam but checked and corrected it. Maybe cleaning out thousand unwanted sales add s I by accident spammed you dear.Its unspamed now. Reminds me of war time radio dinners with spam and chips Why pick a name used for processed meat for rubbish bin. In rashions of my youth by George we were grateful for it.May have lived in a 12th century castle in North of England but until 1955 rations even hit us .Dad did not return from war until then anyway she he was in the occupation of Germany group of senior Officers. Spam egg and chips i recall and since those days never tasted it again
I love Spam, even make a Spam and cheese sandwich and spam fried rice. 🤣
I found it! Great trivia, Diane!
Thank you!
I found it!–very clever. I used to be a huge Hershey’s fan until they bullied and fired employees for not taking the jab. Fortunately there are many other choices. I am 70 so I have many fond Hershey’s memories to look back on. They are also not involved in Fair Trade so a lot of their chocolate involves child labor and very low pay.
I found it!!! Hehehe 😁 Also, I want to see the Kisses machine in action SO BADLY, but as far as I know, it’s secret to the public ☹️
Yay! If you visit Hershey PA you can take a tour and at the end they used to give you a candy bar!
Thank you for reblogging and have a fantastic week! 💕
I found it ! They are such tasty little treats
Yay and they sure are!
I found it.
It took me a while! Glad you found it!
Dont have them outside of USA
That was a hard one to find. 👍
I agree Jerome, glad you found it!
I can’t find it! Poor, pathetic me!
Haha I will reveal where it is tonight (If I remember). lol
Found it.
Yay!!!
Had an advantage, grew up an hour or so away from Hershey PA. Spent a lot of time there
Lucky you! Did you go to the amusement park?
Yes we did. It was a blast taking the kids there for Christmas
I bet!
I FOUND IT. What fun! You seem to be teaching me a lot lately. Thanks!
Yay!!!! Hahaha I’m glad Linda!
I found it! 🙂
Yay!!!!
When I was working in my small rural hospital, I always used to keep a mortar full of Hershey’s Kisses on the pick-up counter….kind of like unit-dose chocolate. This was to encourage the nursing staff to pick-up their medication orders on the way back from the lab or cafeteria, they would stop in to get a chocolate, and it’s amazing how well it worked! I don’t suppose you could do that now.
What a great idea, I bet you were the employee of the month every month Joni!
I was popular…chocolate is a always a good bribe!
I agree!
Aww dang! I couldn’t find it until you put that up! Great Post!
It was a hard one to see! You weren’t the only one!
Wowza, since 1907 – I thought they were a more modern thing! Great information!
I know isn’t it crazy, I didn’t know that either. I’m sure they didn’t sell that many back in 1907 when I’m sure the chocolate was probably made by hand. Thank you Mary!
Never have heard of them. 1907 USA was still the Wild West . Butch Cassidy for one rode the trails into New York State too. In England it was a far far distant land then . We had lots of chocolate treats but not what you are talking of in kisses
Thanks for the info. Nice to come by your blog. Also welcome to visit my travel-food-lifestyle blog. Thanks.
You’re welcome and I just checked out Switzerland, stunning!
Guess what = I did find the kiss between the letters when I viewed the post on a bigger screen – anyhow, – very fun post
thanks Diane
Yay so glad you found it. It would be hard on a small screen! Thank you 🥰
💋🍫
I didn’t find it but I see you pointed it out … I would not have guessed that. I need no glasses perhaps. I like all the facts and figures you gave us here Diane.
Definitely the glasses Linda! Lol
That’s what I was afraid of Diane. 🙂
