Trivia

i removed the following trivia section from the article- it had been tagged trivia for 13 months, and tagged fact for 17. -TinGrin 10:26, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As a sign of the popularity and company identification of Hershey's Kisses, the streetlights of Hershey, Pennsylvania, are shaped like Kisses, both wrapped in foil and as plain chocolate, dangling from the poles.

After many PIAA postseason sporting events, Hershey Kisses are tossed onto the playing surface, signifying that the team will be going to the finals, held at various venues in Hershey, Pennsylvania including the Giant Center and Hersheypark Stadium.

In 2007, The US Postal Service issued a postage stamp commemorating the Hershey's Kiss.

The World's Largest Hershey's Kisses Chocolate weighed 30,540 lb (13,850 kg).

The longest ever consecutive string of Hershey's Kisses was more than four miles (6 km) long. It was laid in the spring of 2003 to raise money for the Children's Miracle Network at Penn State Children's Hospital. The event earned a listing in the Guinness Book of World Records.

The Hersheys Kiss franchise is often used as puns for their namesake. In "Arthur's First Kiss", Arthur, after learning that Francine was his secret Valentine, goes to the movies with her, and mentions that he is going to give her lots of Kisses. Francine thinks he means the actual concept, and is about to try and kiss him, but it turns out he actually meant a box of Hershey's Kisses. Similarly, in the fourth season of the sitcom Sister, Sister, Tamera, prior to Tia walking in lamenting about breaking up with her boyfriend, mentioned that she sent Roger Evans to get her tickets to a "Boys to Men" concert, and said his reward would be the biggest kiss of his life (which she reveals is actually one of the giant hershey kiss variants.)^[1]

I restored and expanded the information about the streetlights and the postage stamp, but moved them to the history section. The streetlights are unique and deserve mention. PurpleChez (talk) 17:10, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

apparently this information was again removed, although I don't agree that it's trivial. I elaborate on this below. Also... the Kiss streetlights do not "dangle from poles"... they are held upright from the end of the standards. PurpleChez (talk) 19:36, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Possible removal from list

An entry in List of colors: A–F contained a link to this page.

The entry is :

Chocolate Kisses

I don't see any evidence that this color is discussed in this article and plan to delete it from the list per this discussion: Talk:List_of_colors#New_approach_to_review_of_entries

If someone decides that this color should have a section in this article and it is added, I would appreciate a ping.--S Philbrick (Talk) 21:09, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Don't want to start an edit war, so....

An above entry states that I restored the information about the Hershey's Kiss appearing on a US postage stamp, and about the Hershey's Kiss-shaped streetlights. I don't actually remember doing this, but it was seven years ago, and things do get fuzzy. Anyhow... this information was obviously removed once again. I would disagree that the Kiss's appearance on a postage stamp is "trivia" -- I would think that, by definition, appearing on a US postage stamp in confirmation that something is iconically American. As for the streetlights - they appear in countless advertisements and promotional photographs and they are unique to those few streets in Hershey. They are a tourist attraction in their own right, and you might still be able to get your picture taken with a mock up of on of the lamps when you visit Chocolate World. I'm all in favor of weeding out fancruft and all of the "half a second of this song can be heard faintly in the background during the whatever-scene in Waterboy" stuff -- but I think this information is not in the same category of "trivia." That's my two cents.... PurpleChez (talk) 19:32, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Niggly wiggly

Please do not claim that the paper strip is a "wiggly niggly" unless you can provide a WP:RS. Online posts by various people endlessly repeating variations of "Oh, I didn't know that it was called a 'wiggly niggly' "are not reliable sources. If Hershey says it's called a wiggly niggly, that's fine, but as far as i can tell this is just a meme. Someone, somewhere, called it a wiggly niggly, and it stuck. Meters (talk) 18:29, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it seems like the kind of claim a bunch of 4channers might have spread around the Internet as a hoax. Especially since “niggly” sounds like something else, and we all know how much those chan posters love “edgy” racism jokes. 2604:2D80:6984:3800:0:0:0:1F5F (talk) 06:21, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The 'Kissables' hyperlink under the tab 'Discontinued and Limited Edition Kisses' should be relocated

The 'Kissables' hyperlink under the tab 'Discontinued and Limited Edition Kisses' should be relocated to the 'See also' section of the article as in my opinion it looks strange in its current location (seeing a hyperlink on the name of the chocolate) due to the other 3 chocolate names underneath not including a hyperlink on their names.
