You may have eaten a few handfuls of these over the holidays. Delicious Hershey Kisses. But why are they called that anyway?
I always thought it had to do with the shape and how it’s a mold of when you pucker your lips to kiss. But that’s not it! It had more to do with sound actually. When they make the candies in the factory the machine that squirts out the chocolate into that shape onto the conveyor belt makes a sound similar to what a kiss would sound like.
Wow! You’re definitely going to think of that next time you eat one.

If you could pick your last words, what would they be? Everyone has been heartbroken over the passing of Betty White, but Anna felt even more distraught after hearing what her last words were! (:30)
Betty White passed away last week, just a few weeks shy of her 100th birthday. Most people would be happy to live such a long life, but Anna couldn’t help but wonder if she actually wanted to live that long… (3:34)
If you’re gonna talk smack to an athletic celebrity, you better be able to back it up! And if you think you can just get away with it without any consequences, that’s all I need to know about you! (6:50)
There are some jobs that just have a bad reputation. Whether it’s fair or not, a lot of people will judge someone based on what they do for a living. But Anna had an experience with someone over the winter holiday that made her change her opinion about that career! (10:33)
Why do women refer to their bodies by fruit shapes? Pear shape, apple shape, it all seems pretty weird! But Anna heard about a new shape recently, and it’s not based on a fruit… (22:01)
A snowstorm in Virginia stopped traffic for 24 HOURS! What would you do if you were stuck in that kind of situation? Do you have the necessary survival equipment in your car? Anna and Raven investigate what you would need! (25:53)
Anna is a spoiler. Every time she and Raven are watching the same show, she always has to spoil it for him! The trick is, sometimes she’s telling the truth and other times it’s an outrageous lie that didn’t actually happen on the show. She thinks it’s funny, but is she out of line? (29:52)
Michaela and Andrew just celebrated their first Christmas as husband and wife. Michaela’s parents gifted Andrew a saw and a pair of sweatpants that don’t fit. He doesn’t need the saw and would like to exchange the pants. He asked Michaela to request a gift receipt from her parents or at least ask where they bought the items so he can return them. Michaela thinks it’s rude to ask for a gift receipt, a gift is a gift! Whose side are you on? (37:11)
Colleen has a shot at $3100! All she has to do is beat Raven at pop culture trivia! (44:40)

Q: 40% of adults say if they could change one thing about themselves in the new year it would be THIS
You may have seen that a major snow storm hit the DC, Maryland, Virginal area yesterday into this morning. Hundreds of people were stranded all night in the freezing cold stuck in their cars. The storm caused a 50 mile backup on I-95 in Virginia. Cars and trucks sliding and spinning out on the ice and snow. Not good at all.
U.S. Senator Tim Kaine who lives in Richmond, VA and commutes to the Capitol in DC every day was stuck in his car for 21 hours after leaving for his normal 2-hour commute Monday at 1pm. Tim was live-tweeting the whole time.
I started my normal 2 hour drive to DC at 1pm yesterday. 19 hours later, I’m still not near the Capitol. My office is in touch with @VaDOT to see how we can help other Virginians in this situation. Please stay safe everyone. pic.twitter.com/Sz1b1hZJZ5
In the middle of it all he posted this really nice story of a Connecticut family who was driving back from Florida and handing people oranges who were stuck in their cars. Such a nice gesture. Making us here in the state of CT proud. Love that.
A CT family returning in a packed car from Florida walked by in the middle of the night handing out oranges as we were stopped for hours on I-95. Bless them! pic.twitter.com/MrmZ1ZF6JJ
If you’re like me you’ve been in the grocery store cheese aisle wondering should I buy the yellow or white cheese? And what’s the difference?!
When it comes to American cheese they are actually both very similar, but not EXACTLY the same thing. Yellow cheese tends to have a higher fat content which makes for the soft texture and rich flavor. White cheese tends to be more dry and crumbly. Flavor wise yellow is sharper and tangy while white is milder.
Personally, I like putting yellow on my burgers. I feel like it grabs onto the meat better. Yum.
Anna & Raven stopped by our Star 99.9 Downtown Dental Homeroom at Roosevelt School in Bridgeport to play Italian Bingo “Tombola”. We also had some fun Grinch PEZ dispensers thanks to PEZ Candy.
Producer Sean believes he has the best ideas and attachments for Anna’s new walker. Are they actually good ideas or just Sean’s imagination running too wild?
An interesting study was released that claims dogs can smell if you are sick with Covid! Of course, we had to put this to the test, and tried to see if our dogs could smell Covid on us. What is the result? Find out in the podcast.
