Ok, so I went to Heidelberg two years with Herr Buck on the high school exchange program I did... This trip was just a lot of the same stuff so here are some cool pics. If you want more on Heidelberg, feel free to go read the blog posts from two years ago.
So, these chocolates actually have an interesting story. Way back when universities were only open for the aristocratic/wealthy males, they would need to go elsewhere to find girls. But, girls were often guarded by their governesses. So, this chocolate company came up with a wrapper on which you could write a message. This way, the guy could pass the girl the chocolate and give her the message without the governess finding out. Basically, the guy would ask the girl on a date via the chocolate wrapper and hope that she would sneak out to show up. Fun stuff! But, basically, this chocolate has been around since and it's gained game and became a big deal. The picture above says "Heidelberg Student Kiss"
