    Jacques Torres is currently involved in a battle with Hershey's. The chocolatier is offering the controversial Champagne Kiss bonbons for free in all three of his city locations today.

    In case you haven't heard, famed chocolatier Jacques Torres is currently involved in a battle with Hershey.

    The chocolate giant has ordered him to stop selling his Champagne Kiss bonbon, saying it infringes on Hershey’s Kisses trademark.

    Torres has declared that he is not going to stop selling his Taittinger Champagne Kiss, describing himself as the David to Hershey's Goliath. He has petitions in all three of his locations and has started a web site, www.savejacqueskiss.com .

    Today from 12 pm – 3 pm Torres will give away 10,000 samples of his Champagne Kiss bonbon at his three Manhattan locations.
