Hershey Kisses Sees Spikes in Sales in South Korea Due to Anti-Yoon Protesters
Hersheys seems to having a bump in sales in South Korea due to the current political turmoil:
Hershey’s Kisses, a staple product of global chocolate company Hershey, have traditionally struggled to shine in South Korea despite their popularity abroad. Often seen as a “filler product” in convenience stores and supermarkets, they typically experience modest sales even on Valentine’s Day. However, a recent event has given the chocolate a surprising moment in the spotlight.
According to a report by a major convenience store chain on Monday, sales of Hershey’s Kisses at its stores nationwide increased by 8.4 percent compared to the previous week.
The company noted that this spike is unusual for Hershey’s Kisses, which typically see steady but unremarkable demand. The unexpected surge is attributed to a viral moment involving a protest group nicknamed the “Kisses Protesters.”
On Jan. 5, protesters gathered in front of President Yoon Suk Yeol’s residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul, calling for his arrest.
The group earned the nickname “Kisses Protesters” due to their appearance — many participants wrapped themselves in silver foil thermal blankets to endure the freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall. The blankets resembled the silver foil wrapping of Hershey’s Kisses, sparking the nickname.

If the military sides with Korean nationalist ideals against the globalist encroachment, will sales of Swiss cheese go up?

Given that the @setnaffa crowd tends to label anyone who disagrees with their narrative as ‘communists’—often seeing imaginary communists everywhere—it’s clear they lack any logical or substantial arguments to support their absurd claims.
