The Kissmobile
I'm not sure why I didn't post this right after we got home from our trip. I suppose it was because I wasn't able to whip out my camera fast enough to get my own photo. But, last night, as I was drifting off to sleep watching Unwrapped ... there it was again: the Hershey's Kissmobile - a 26 foot long, 12 foot tall specialty vehicle that resembles a row of three Hershey's kisses. Marian and I spied it zipping down the highway when we were returning from our junket to Asheville. I checked the tour schedule online - it was headed to Charlotte, NC. Seeing a motorized platform festooned with three giant Hershey's kisses on a public highway ... it takes a few moments to process the image. I remember seeing it across the median - pointing with my mouth agape - and then collapsing in laughter. Seeing it stationary in a parking lot probably isn't one quarter as amusing as seeing the kisses in motion. One of those mountain top moments for a foodie. If we're lucky enought to stumble upon the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile and the Peeps Fun Bus while motoring down the highway ... well, my life would be damn near complete.
