Shortage of hugs

Once that vaccination is jabbed in my arm, I will drive in a straight line to my mother to hug her for at least a whole hour. I miss the cuddling, even though I'm not really that cuddly. What does research show? It's explainable, because there is a shortage of tenderness.

Milka, you know the chocolate manufacturer, conducted research on our hugging levels. No less than 53 percent of respondents enjoy a little extra tenderness and believe it contributes to a happier society. Hear hear, I agree with this. Only four out of ten people think that this pandemic makes us less cuddly and tender. And they are now solving this with a cuddle blanket.

The gigantic limited and quite purple (!) Milka blanket wraps easily around a person two meters tall. My friend tried it out, so I have proof. It does create some tripping hazards here and there and from a distance, it reminds you of a bishop celebrating Christmas, but it feels great. Everyone deserves such a cuddle blanket. It is a limited edition, so off to the shop to send some tender, love, and care in the mail.
