Hershey’s has announced it is to retire its much-loved ‘Kissmobiles’ in 2020, which have toured the United States since 1997.

The vehicles that are shaped like its Hershey's Kisses are each made up of three massive Kisses candies and are 26-feet in length.

Hershey said that it decided to pull the aging Kissmobiles out of safety concerns for employees and the public. Spokesman Jeff Beckman said it has also become more difficult to find replacement parts for the custom vehicles.

One of the Kissmobiles will be available for public viewing at the AACA Museum in Hershey.
