The Giant Hershey’s Kiss.

There are certain things each of us associates with the holiday season. For some, it’s a great big old Christmas tree. For others, it’s crowded malls with a costumed Santa sitting in a photo booth dead center. For me, it’s a big gluttonous glob of chocolate. It’s not Christmastime until Hershey’s once again blesses our fair planet with the end-all, be-all of sugary indulgences: The Super-Sized Hershey’s Kiss.

I can’t say when Hershey’s got the bright idea, but certainly, super-sized Kisses have been around for many years – perhaps longer than a decade – and lest you think it’s impossible, rest assured, this is a precisely crafted and perfectly solid Hershey’s Kiss, just like the little ones. Standing nearly four inches tall and even longer in width, it’s a marvelous display of chocolate that nobody could possibly eat in a sitting. Wrapped in the same colored foil as their smaller cousins, the super-sized Kisses are likewise topped with little “Hershey’s” banners in crumply paper. If you’re groggy and someone puts one in your palm, you’ll swear you got a lot smaller overnight.

One of the topics X-Entertainment has covered in this very space over the past few weeks has been stocking stuffers. What to buy, where to find it, who to give them to, yadda yadda. Well, for those ends, you really can’t go wrong a mighty fist-sized Hershey’s Kiss. The foil wrappers come in silver, green and red, because let’s face it, trivial as it may be, everyone has their favorite Hershey’s Kiss wrapper color. We’re a simple society, and we love our chocolate. If desired, these magnificent bulbs of dark magic can be found at most pharmacies. Why pharmacies? I have absolutely no idea. Some things are better left unexplained.

Oh, and the Advent and Advert Calendars have been updated. (Advent a bit more updated than the Advert…) Will finish those up either tonight or in the morning.

Yeah 1st Baby! I had one of these things when I was little. The chocolate gets gross after a day.

Woohoo! #2! Those giant kisses have been around for as long as I can remember, so that’s at least 20 years. I never had a whole one myself- not that I ever tried. That has to be, what, 3000 calories there?

Even with my Diabetes, I would eat that sucker, and try to do it in one sitting! I loves me some chocolate.

Wow! 4th? I’ve never been this far up in the eschelon of blog postings.:)

I have never seen one of those big kisses before, but I would buy it in a heartbeat! (I’d buy the original silver wrapper, too)

MMMMMMM, Chocolate…..

Anyway, off-topic but seeing as how you’re a huge Star Wars fan, Matt, check out the link below. Interesting and a little weird:

I totally understand…..for Hanukka i’ve ALWAYS gotten chocolate cherry cordials.

Chestnuts roasted by Emily @ 12/17/2004 11:08 AM

Hmmm. That looks good, but I’ve never had one. Mine is more the LifeSaver Storybook kind of family.

Exploding cat!

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 12/17/2004 11:36 AM

If I gave that to my gf at the right time of the month, I’d never hear her bitch at me ever again!

Damn, that’s a big Hersey’s Kiss. I’ve always seen those things in the stores around the holidays, but didn’t want to spend the money to get one. Speaking of Kisses though. I’ve been workin for over a year now on a foil ball (like on Pee Wee’s Playhouse) I’ve always attempted it over the years..but would give up on it after time. This time I’ve been keepin the ball, and it’s slowly getting bigger. Only thing is though, I’m only using Hershey’s Kiss wrappers…so years from now when it’s gotten huge and i’ve lost all my teeth from all the chocolate i ate to make it…everyone will come to see my big ball :D (yes I have WAY too much time on my hand when I’m not writing!) Goin off topic loving the advent calendar, you’ve made my (and i’m sure other peoples) holiday a happy one instead of a depressing one for those who’ve lost our x-mas spirit!

My god, that is such a cliff-hanger. Now I have to wait to see what they are going to transform tomorrow’s gift into, AND it looks like Santa’s impending doom is coming closer!

I’m surprised some people haven’t heard of the Hersehy kiss. That is the stock "I don’t know what to get for teacher, aunt, boss, etc." present around there parts.

Chestnuts roasted by Y2JB78 @ 12/17/2004 12:05 PM

Matt, is that giganto Kiss milk or dark chocolate? Cuz if it’s dark chocolate I’ll take your bet that you can’t eat it in one sitting.

Chestnuts roasted by James @ 12/17/2004 12:24 PM

I usually only see this at Sam’s Club, but I’ve seen them sell a 5 pound Herhsey chocolate bar for about $12-15. Never bought it though.

Chestnuts roasted by JLAJRC @ 12/17/2004 12:59 PM

Got one of these a few weeks ago. It still sits unwrapped on my dresser.

Chestnuts roasted by Jeff @ 12/17/2004 3:27 PM

I like those chocolate oranges that you have to smack on a table separate the slices. I’m not sure whether those are sold all year or not, but they feel very Christmas to me.

MmmmmMMmmmmUaH!
Thats one big kiss..

Has anyone seen the Trailer Park Boys Christmas special? My friend lives in Nova Scotia where it is filmed and was an extra in the "Church Scene" (he’s wearing a weed shirt :P )

I *so* want a mistle-toe belt buckle..

Star Wars Gangsta Rap SPECIAL EDITION!

For me, that more recent M&Ms commercial with Red and Yellow stumbling upon Santa has become a bit of a tradition. Anyone else feel the same?

What if Einstein decides to try some of Kitty’s food?

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 12/17/2004 5:42 PM

What if he’s allergic to peanuts?

Chestnuts roasted by 1drland @ 12/17/2004 6:11 PM

I love the giant hershey kiss. My personal favorite though is the Giant and I mean GIANT Hershey bar. It is about 2 feet long and about an inch thick. It is a normal hershey bar with a glandular problem.

That is good eating. It does cost around 30 bucks though.

My thoughts are that Kitty is going to eat the super food and kill everybody. Then open the presents until the 24 where the bomb will blow up releasing a mutated santa to give noogies and wet willy’s to the good children and a flamethrower to all the bad children. >8-)

What if Killer Duck is one of the boxes?

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 12/17/2004 6:38 PM

Cyanyde, that is really cool about your friend. We in the US have only seen the first two series/seasons of Trailer Park Boys, so unfortunately it will be another while before we get to see it on http://www.bbcamerica.com/genre/comedy_games/trailer_park_boys/trailer_park_boys.jsp">BBC America.

Dude, I’m so hyped right now, I’m flying off the walls. I just took my last final today and my work has closed down until the 3rd of January. I can sleep whenever I want, hahahahahahahaha!

First time commenter. Long time fan…

Sometimes I joke that I’d like to have site’s child…which is odd cause I don’t have a uterus. I could make one out of silly putty and popsicle sticks, but according to biology textbooks, that’s not how it works.

If you’re groggy and someone puts one in your palm, you’ll swear you got a lot smaller overnight.

I bet if you were groggy and someone put a super-size Hershey’s kiss in one palm and a mini bottle of alcohol in the other, your head would probably explode from the freakiness of it all. But, that’s just me.
