Hershey's actually makes a Champagne Kiss for Valentines ... While candy fans think it's a pretty clear distinction, I've met plenty of people who confuse brands and names all the time and yeah, they'd be upset if they thought they were getting one or the other. Oddly enough Hershey's also sent a cease & desist to a chocolatier, I think, in California for a lemon kiss. They obliged and thought it was flattering that Hershey's thought they their little shop was a threat.
