As with ice cream, we don't really need much in the way of a special incentive to eat or purchase Hershey's Kisses. We don't know if they're our favorite way of eating Hershey's chocolate, but they certainly belong in the conversation. The gentle touch of graphical trickery Hershey's have employed in the creation of the Hershey's Kisses logo isn't really a sales aid - it's more a reminder of what you're buying.
Take a long, hard look at the letter spacing around the word 'KISSES,' and you'll see that it's very slightly irregular. That's because Hershey's have played around with the 'K' and the 'I' just enough to slot in what looks like a Hershey's Kiss. It's the same size and shape as what you'll find inside the packet, and it's a neat way of incorporating it into the logo without being too obvious.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
