Spreading kindness through good deeds - and good chocolate

They’re simple and sweet, and can even change someone’s day for the better.

SoulPancake and Hershey’s Kisses partnered to spread good cheer across America in the form of good deeds and good chocolate.

“When you’re walking down the street, how often do you talk to the other people around you? Smile? Even make eye contact?” asks SheKnows, the site where the video was originally uploaded.

“If you’re like most, the answer is [probably] as little as possible. You’ve got things to do, places to be, people to see.”

The video shows small parachutes falling from the sky towards unsuspecting people below.

The cards attached to the chutes read: “HI THERE! This is a little reminder to show someone near you that you care.”

“It’s like a good feeling to be cared for,” said one girl in the video. “Like, knowing that somebody’s there for you that has your back.”

“Giving a compliment, flashing a smile or even handing out a small piece of chocolate can brighten even the gloomiest of days,” Director of Hershey’s Kisses brand, Ian Norton, said in the same release.

SoulPancake and Hershey’s Kisses said they planned to take the movement across the United States in the coming weeks.
