It's hard for anyone to say no to HERSHEY'S KISSES. Their teardrop shape and silver wrapper offer a delicious treasure. The tiny piece of paper on top is the key. One pull, and the fine milk chocolate is yours to enjoy.

 

对任何人来说,要对「贺喜之吻」巧克力说「不」还真是困难。它们泪珠状的造型和银色包装纸提供了一个美味的瑰宝,而上头那张小小的标签纸是个关键;轻轻一拉,精致的牛奶巧克力就等着你去享受。

 

Milton S. Hershey, the "Chocolate King," was the man behind these little treats. At first, Hershey made caramel. However, he changed to chocolates after he became fascinated with a chocolate-making machine from Germany. Then he started the Hershey Chocolate Company. It is the oldest chocolate-making company in the US.
