This may just be the weirdest looking vehicle you've ever seen. But as chocolate ambassador Rachel Lopez will tell you it's one sweet ride. I was kind of intimidated by it at first and five minutes behind the wheel and it was like, woo hoo, no problem. People all over the country are getting sweet on the Hershey's Kiss Mobile. This chocolate lover's dream machine is more than 25 ft long and nearly 12 ft tall people are great. Hey, not only does this thing look cool, but you're gonna wanna flag it down. There are 230,000 Hershey's kisses in here. Ok. It is *** promotional vehicle of sorts for the Hershey Company, but it's also touring the US sweet talking people into donating to the Children's Miracle Network. And what we do is we sell pictures and postcards and accept any sort of donation and 100% of all the money we raise goes directly to the CMN affiliated hospital in town. And who at the Windsor Heights High View today could refuse *** kiss, *** hug and *** chance to live out their wildest willy Wonka dream. It's great. It's like being in *** parade constantly. Every kid deserves hugs and kisses. I'm Steve Carlin covering Central Iowa for news Channel eight.
