Secretaries given Hershey kisses ate more of them when the jars on their desks were clear than when the chocolates were in containers that weren't see-through, researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York told an obesity conference in Canada on Wednesday.

Study participants ate an average of 7.7 kisses per day when the chocolates were in clear containers on their desks, 4.6 when in opaque jars on their desks, 5.6 when in clear jars 6 feet from their desks, and 3.1 when in opaque jars 6 feet away, according to an account by the Associated Press.

The secretaries said the candies were twice as hard to resist when they could see and reach the chocolates as when the candies weren't visible or were six feet away, the wire service reported. – (HealthDayNews)
