It's as much a hovercraft as a pancake is a waffle.

Heresy Kisses
Sweet, but with a sense of doom about them

Irrespective of how catholic your society's tastes are, these will land you in hot water with the thought police.

In some countries they should never be seen in public, in others they are tolerated though still not considered a good thing.

Blamed for all of society's ills, they are the bane of our lives, if you listen to the opinionated do-gooders opposing them.

There's a lot at stake, when you're burning for a kiss.

Eat these, and you have my 100% guarantee that you will get into Heaven no questions asked. No really, trust me. [sdm, Oct 08 2001, last modified Oct 05 2004]

Heresy Kiss Boxes (3rd one down) http://www.weddingb.../WeddingFavors.html
Apparently these were made just for giving heresy kisses away at wedding receptions. Maybe I'll order some for mine. [XSarenkaX, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004]

       Ooh, sounds sinful. Might need some testamints. [see link]

       Old or New, sdm?

UnaBubba, Oct 08 2001
  

       To suit your denomination, there is your choice of that OLD-timer peppermint feel or fresh, NEW spearmint... But just to be sure, there are always the ECUMENICAL undertones of tasty wintergreen. No need for sectarian violence... in the world of gum.

       No-one expected a Cadbury-Schweppes Exposition?

UnaBubba, Oct 08 2001
  

       Nice link, UB. Woke everybody up as I hit the floor laughing at the Patriotic Penis with pledge card. (And I believe it's Cadbury-Pepsi-Schweppes here in Oz now.)

sdm, Oct 08 2001
  

       Sorry about that. Bad juju there m'man.

UnaBubba, Oct 08 2001
  

       No, no, UB. I said a *real* idea.

       re: your link UB whats that spotty one all about? is it for Mr Blobby fans?

       Eve: "C'mon, Adam, kiss my apple. Kiss it! Oooo yeah!"   

       Adam: "Smooooooch!"   

       Serpent: "Ha ha, gotcha! Heresy kiss!"   

       Ghod: "Awright, what's all this then? Put the fruit down and step away from the Garden. Let's move it, people, you don't got all eternity here y'know."

Dog Ed, Oct 08 2001
  

       Close enough for you, BX?   

       Since heresy is largely subjective I've deliberately left room for interpretation.

UnaBubba, Oct 08 2001
  

       Well, it's much better fleshed-out now, but I think we're still missing something about why Heresy Kisses should exist to make it more of an idea and less just a pun. Mind you, I'm not trying to dictate standards here, either for you or for the halfbakery; I'm just so intrigued by the phrase that I'm looking for a good way to introduce the term into conversation.

beauxeault, Oct 08 2001
  

       Try again.

UnaBubba, Oct 08 2001
  

       Neat idea. Heretic or revolutionary thoughts, printed on those little paper flags that stick up out of the foil ... I'd go for that.   

       Samples:   

       "God is dead ... or is he?"
"Do not tip the waiter. Leave a nice note instead."
"Television anchormen don't wear pants."

       This gets my "for" vote, in the specific sense of Hershey's Kisses with subversive messages printed on the little paper flags. It's like fortune cookies for the humorously evil.   

       I t'ink I'm in luuuuuv.

Meowse, Oct 08 2001
  

       There's a thought "Heresy Kisses - Chocolate Misfortune Cookies"

UnaBubba, Oct 11 2001
  

       I think I need to keep a jarful of these at my desk. I'd really like to offer them to lots of people, but since they may get offended, I'll probably just keep them to myself. :)

XSarenkaX, Apr 17 2003
  

       and what's wrong with ppl being offended? everyone s bound to get offended sooner or later, might as well do it humorously!

igirl, Apr 18 2003
  

       O! A little chocolate punny, how cuuute.

bristolz, Apr 18 2003
  

       Great, I'll give them away to all my guests (linky-dink).
