Share the Bliss
Hershey’s Bliss Chocolate, including the new addition of Hershey’s Bliss White Chocolate with a Meltaway Center, is inspiring everyday bliss through a national Share the Bliss essay contest based on the New York Times best-selling book “The Necklace.” By taking a page from the book to help others experience the undeniable bliss of sharing just like the women of “The Necklace,” the Share the Bliss contest will connect women nationwide with the chance to share a 16.5-carat diamond necklace.
Continuing through December 2009, consumers can visit www.hersheysbliss.com to enter the Share the Bliss contest by submitting their stories (150 words or less) of why they want to experience or be “blissed” the Hershey’s Bliss Chocolate diamond necklace. Lucky women will be selected to share the 16.5-carat diamond necklace for two weeks and will receive the necklace, a variety of delicious Hershey’s Bliss Chocolate, including a bag of the newly debuted Hershey’s Bliss White Chocolate with a Meltaway Center and a signed copy of “The Necklace.” Each winner will be asked to share their experience with the necklace through a blog on the Hershey’s Bliss Chocolate Web site and to help select the next winner, thus connecting women nationwide.
The winners of the Hershey’s Bliss Chocolate necklace will be invited to meet in New York at the Young Survival Coalition’s (YSC) spring 2010 charity benefit. During the event, the necklace will be “blissed” for the last time through a silent auction benefitting the YSC, the premier international organization dedicated to the critical issues unique to young women and breast cancer.
“The combination of chocolate and diamonds is a blissful treat,” said Cook. “Whether relishing the new Hershey’s Bliss White Chocolate with a Meltaway Center or savoring a Hershey’s Bliss Milk Chocolate bar, we encourage women to celebrate life’s everyday joys and invite them to Share the Bliss.”
