...next section - popular chocolates shaped like triangles or trapezoids - the Kit Kat from Nestlé just beat out Hershey's Kisses, an entrant at a slight disadvantage because voters had to imagine how they tasted after the local convenience store sold out of them. (That may have been for the best: TIME's test generated a deluge of opinions about where the best chocolate comes from. The bottom line on the Old World side of the Atlantic: big selling American chocolate is sour, powdery and generally inferior to European chocolate...

A parade of celebrities - including boxing champ Manny Pacquiao, running for a congressional seat - are adding the customary glamor. Aquino's sister Kris, a popular television personality, is reported to be energetically rallying her friends in entertainment to publicly support her brother.
