China releases sweet and sour pork stamps

Just in case you're wondering the stamp shown here has nothing to with the edible squid postcards I wrote about the other day.

It's not edible, but when you scratch the front it releases the tantalizing aroma of sweet and sour pork. Wait it gets better. When you lick the back, the stamp also tastes like the dish. I can safely say that this is the first time that thinking about a stamp has made my mouth water. Although ice-cream-flavored stamps are a close second.

China released the stamp last week to celebrate the Year of the Pig, which starts February 18. It's sure to thrill foodies, philatelists and lovers of all things cute. For some reason I feel like sending letters and eating bacon to ring in the Lunar New Year.

Hershey's Kisses 100th Anniversary SWAK ;-x

Hershey's Kisses 100th Anniversary is SWAK (Stamped with a Kiss). To commemorate Kisses' 100th B'day, the US Postal Service and Hershey's have teamed up to print a new stamp in the USPS "Love" series called "With Love and Kisses" that will be released mid-January 2007. The UPS started printing their "Love" series of stamps in 1973 and this is the first year with chocolate. I think it's a really great stamp and one that I predict will be a big seller, both in general, to use on letters to those in the military, and most especially for Valentines Day. Did you know that Hershey's Kisses have been produced year round since 1907, except during the WWII war years of 1942-1949 when silver foil was rationed.

Do you have someone special that you want to send love and kisses to?
