Instead, the machines were re-purposed to create military chocolate D ration bars for the soldiers in World War II.

By the end of World War II, Hershey's had produced more than three billion D ration chocolate bars.

Introduced in late 2005, these mini candy-coated milk chocolate kisses were similar to M&Ms and Reese's Pieces.

In 2008, Hershey's attempted to cut production costs by changing the recipe for these (and other chocolates), opting to use vegetable oils instead of cocoa butter.

Discontinued in 2011, Hershey's opted not to bring them back for future Halloween's due to poor sales.

Strawberry Ice Cream Cone kisses were available for purchase as of July 2022 at Hershey's Chocolate World.

Released in fall of 2008, shortly following Hershey's Kiss 100th anniversary, this limited edition candy was well received by the public.

The orange kiss was filled with a white pumpkin-flavored creme, and wrapped in a special gold and brown foil wrapper.

The green and red colored wrapped chocolates were featured for the first time in the Figi's Christmas catalog.

The advertisement premiered in 1989 and has run each holiday season since in the United States, representing the longest-running television commercial for the Hershey brand.
