I think Hershey's should start putting more effort into marketing in Europe. They would make a fortune on kisses. Not that they aren't hugely successful in the US, but here P.D.A. is a socially acceptable thing. So instead of focusing sales on celebratory events like valentine's day and anniversaries, they could make their campaign a daily thing. From a US, anti-pda perspective sometimes it's really disgusting to see teenage couples making out in the street. It's just...too much information quite frankly. But then this afternoon I saw something that made it all worth-while. I was studying in a little cafe before class and I witnessed the most beautiful thing. There was a couple eating lunch (remember from previous blogs--lunch is late here) and the women (yes, a grown adult middle-aged woman) was sitting on the lap of the man she was with and they were laughing and feeding each other. After they left the restaurant they stood outside and kissed for awhile before strolling down the street arm in arm. I know this because I left the cafe at the same time as them. While I was following them I was thinking to myself that they must be dating or something to have so much affection but to my surprise they were wearing wedding rings! I was never so happy to be wrong in my life! It just gave me warm fuzzies inside to see a married couple acting so affectionate.
Before coming here I thought that Europe was more sexual than the United States in general but what I've discovered is that Europe is more open with sexuality, while the United States is in fact equally sexual. I'm hesitant to say more sexual because I know that Europe has a lot of the same problems related to younger generations being more "free" and stuff.
In summary, some PDA is good, some is bad. And yes I have been listening to the song while writing this.
