An associate of mine who was working in a distant cubicle got some chocolates by name “KISSES” from someone who has comeback from onsite. So he was happily distributing it to “a few people only” saying kisses from me. It was my turn to get, since I was little far way from his he has to throw it in air. What would you call this when I get it. FLYING KISSES isn’t it?
It's interesting to know how they got thier name as Hershey Kisses chocolates, it's a popular theory that the candy was named for the sound or motion of the chocolate being deposited during the manufacturing process.
Another favourite of mine is Jelly-Belly candies is one which I like the most. I first tasted them in Oana’s birthday party in Grenoble. It was a fun filled night. Jelly Belly's Official has 50 Flavors.
The Journey - There is a story to the birth of this.
Back in 1976, a Los Angeles candy distributor had an idea for a jelly bean made with natural flavorings. So he called up the candymakers at Jelly Belly (formerly known as Herman Goelitz Candy Co.) who had a reputation for making the very best candies.
Creating "true-to-life" flavors was, well, a natural evolution. The candymakers cooked up a recipe for a new kind of jelly bean -- intensely flavored throughout, with natural ingredients for flavoring whenever possible. In 1976 the first eight Jelly Belly flavors were born: Very Cherry, Lemon, Cream Soda, Tangerine, Green Apple, Root Beer, Grape and Licorice. Funny enough they are still some of the most popular flavors made.
Jelly Belly became the favorite candy of President Ronald Reagan, who made the beans a staple in the Oval Office and on Air Force One. Jelly Belly was also the first jelly bean in outer space it was sent on the space shuttle Challenger in 1983 as a presidential surprise for the astronauts.
