distribution

The market launch took place in 1968. The rectangular normal pack contains 32 pieces, the bar-shaped small pack 5 pieces. 20 Ferrero kisses are also sold in hexagonal gift boxes and 14 in bags.

In the US, a similar praline was previously marketed by Ferrero under the name Mon Chéri (which was confusing in that another Ferrero product is available under this name in Germany ).

advertising

Ferrero kisses became famous in the 1990s, particularly through advertising with the slogan “You give good friends a kiss”. While friendship and sociability were emphasized in the commercials in 1992, this turned into selfishness in 1993, and so it was called “My Ferrero kisses? - They are much too good to nibble on. "

Before the federal election in 2013 , Ferrero brought out a commercial in which slogans such as Germany chooses white , Yes white can and White nut (= must) should be used to advertise white Ferrero kisses. The spot earned the company accusations of racism and was discontinued after massive criticism.
