"...special White Day sweets that supposedly taste like kisses. Not the Hershey's kind, the mouth kind."

Surely now they don't mean this in a literal sense? I don't think my mouth would be able to handle that sort of taste, let alone my stomach. Anime dazed

Shocked Laughing

Oh?

The mouth kind you say? Laughing What does that exactly mean? Surely not in the literal sense I hope? Or are they going with the 'sweet' factor as in 'he tasted sweet' or he tasted 'spicy'. Something like that? Laughing

Anyway, when is this getting an anime?

"Oh crap, one of the factory workers spit in all of the candies!"
"Quick, we'll just market them as kiss flavored for valentines, they'll never know."

Yeah, people don't kiss for the taste, it's for the act itself/connection with the other person. I'm not sure who the demographic is with this. That dude from Mysterious Girlfriend X?

A lot of the time in shojo manga and sometimes even shonen romance manga when someone has a first kiss they say stuff like 'it tasted fresh like a lemon' or something like that and I was always confused, so I'm willing to bet these will just be all vaguely fruit flavoured candies.

It's like how Senran Kagura had those ridiculous things that were meant to 'smell like breasts' but were actually just perfumed with something like talc, because breasts smell like...SURPRISE...boring, ordinary skin.
