Hershey's Kissables
A bag was left in a pile of chocolate candy in the office kitchen this morning. The contents ripped off M&Ms as much as expected, only giving the sensation that they would melt in your hand if given the opportunity. The chocolate was weak, in attitude and consistency, and a grade below regular Hershey's Kisses and regular M&Ms. What does this all prove? Kisses and kissability are not the same. And misusing suffixes for corporate purposes just isn't attrative at all.
I wrote down at the time this morning that the candies looked like Sorry game pieces. Momentary thoughts of growth spurts and also of choking hazards. Googling "sorry pieces game" (no quotes) finds this thinking isn't alone.
