Hi Martin!
Here is my comment form your previous question.
Everyone recognizes the unique shape and wrapping of a Hershey Kiss
brand of chocolates. In 1923 the shape and the silver wrapping of the
kisses were patented.
"But around the world, it was the bite-size Hershey Kiss that became
his legacy: a familiar shape that he had to protect. According to
Pamela Whitenack, Archivist for the Hershey Community Archives, Milton
Hershey knew that he had something very special with milk chocolate
kisses. So in 1923, he patented the shape and the silver wrapping of
the kisses. In order to protect his product, he developed a wrapping
machine that incorporated those plumes that tell you it's a Hershey
Kiss before you ever opened it," says Black."
