It happened during my senior year in high school and I was seeing a girl who was a junior at a different high school than me.  Her name was&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Oh, maybe it would be safe to NOT put her name here.  She might deny it if she ever found out I wrote about it.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, we were lying face to face on the carpet of her family&#8217;s living room, just talking about typical high school things.  Then she stopped talking and looked deeply into my eyes.  I noticed her look, stopped talking, and then looked deeply into her eyes.  She drew her face closer to mine and closed her eyes.  My male carnal instincts knew that she wanted to kiss me, so I closed my eyes and drew my lips towards hers.  As our lips touched&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>What the hell!?!  I sound like a trashy romance novel.  Blech!<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, we made out for ten minutes.  She knew what she was doing, but I didn&#8217;t.  So when we pulled our lips apart, I looked at her and she looked at me, then I looked at her mouth.  You know the term &#8220;swapping spit&#8221;?  Well we did that, but I took it a little too literally.<\/p>\n<p>I either had really overactive saliva glands, thought her mouth was a spittoon, or I was a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ivan_Pavlov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pavlonian dog<\/a>, because there was saliva running down her chin and a shimmering ring of saliva around AND above her lips.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, that extremely wet, sloppy kiss probably led to her decision to break up with me a week later.<\/p>\n<p>However, after years of training with pillows, my fists, CPR dummies, numerous photos of either Winona Ryder, Angelina Jolie, or Lisa Loeb with their lips cut out, and bowls of Jello, I have become an expert kisser.  A makeoutologist, if you will.<\/p>\n<p>I now know when to kiss, how much pressure to use, when to use the tongue, when to gently bite her lower lip, when to kiss her on the chin, when to kiss her on the eyelids, when to stick my tongue in her ear, when to suck on her nose, and when to lick her eyebrows.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t believe me?  Just watch this video of me <a href=\"\/images\/kissable.mov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">making out<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Despite dozens of photos with lips cut out and all my other efforts, I am apparently still not as kissable as the new Hershey&#8217;s Kissables, which are candy coated mini chocolate Hershey&#8217;s Kisses.  <\/p>\n<p>What do they have that I don&#8217;t have?<\/p>\n<p>Multi-colored candy coatings?  <\/p>\n<p>Yeah, that&#8217;s great if I wanted to be in a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.benetton.com\/html\/index.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Benetton<\/a> ad, but I don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Shaped like Hershey&#8217;s Kisses?<\/p>\n<p>I hate to say this, but Hershey&#8217;s Kisses have always looked like steaming coils of dog poop.<\/p>\n<p>Tasty chocolatey goodness?<\/p>\n<p>If I had some chocolate pudding and rubbed it all over me, I could be tasty chocolatey goodness too.<\/p>\n<p>Seriously, there&#8217;s nothing really special about Hershey&#8217;s Kissables, because they taste like M&#038;M&#8217;s.  However, tasting like M&#038;M&#8217;s is a good thing, because I love them M&#038;M&#8217;s.  <\/p>\n<p>If you hate M&#038;M&#8217;s then you probably won&#8217;t like these, and you probably hate puppies and kitten too.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Editor&#8217;s Note:  Check out Cybele&#8217;s Candy Blog for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.typetive.com\/candyblog\/item\/kissables\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">another review<\/a>.
