On this day in history, a very
historic historical event made historic history. This historical, history-changing event:
1990 - A 500 lb 6' Hershey Kiss is displayed at 1 Times Square, NYC
This is important to chocoholics
everywhere. This is like the Holy Grail
of chocolate. Forget Lindor or Godiva or
any of the specialty brands and types, a 500-pound Kiss is akin to winning the
lottery, becoming royalty, or even winning Let's
Make a Deal.
Please, in honor of this momentous
anniversary, a moment of silence, to be disturbed only by the sweet ripping
sound of thin foil being torn carefully away from the precious thin-tin-foil-covered
pyramid of cocoa.
Now, with the songs of angels and
the flying by of unicorned pegasuses (pegasi), I give you the 500-pound
confection of pure happiness to we addicts and pure evil to blood-sugar regulators everywhere.
