Yeah, but if you do the math at the poles 1 kiss will do it.

I don't beleive it can be Hershey's Kisses because Hershey's makes over 12
Billion Kisses a year.  If the Kiss is 1" acrosse at its base than it would
take less then 2 million Kisses to circle the Earth once.

Well, if you do the math at the equator.

        25000 miles around
       x 5280 feet/mile
       x   12 inches/foot
-------------
1,584,000,000 inches around the earth

6 times around as asked = 9,504,000,000 that's 9.5 billion not million
