A lip smackingly good International Kissing Day deal from Gopuff

This International Kissing Day (Wednesday 6th July) Gopuff, a leader in instant delivery, is on a mission to help everyone pucker up, in the run up to the big day and afterwards, with a special ménage à trois deal on kissing essentials – three items for the price of two.

The deal – which is available from today (4 July) until Monday 11 July – includes items like Vaseline Lip Therapy to moisturise the lips, Wrigley’s Extra Cool Breeze Gum for a minty boost, Listerine Total Care Mouthwash to keep the mouth fresh, and Trebor Extra Strong Peppermint Mints for an instant hit of pure peppermint goodness.

Kissing has been around for more than two millennia, however, it was under the Romans that it became a more widespread practice. So much so that the first recorded mention of kissing can be traced back to Alexander the Great around 326 BC.

Smooching is one of the earliest evolutionary mechanisms for social bonding and actually activates the brain’s reward system, releasing neurotransmitters like oxytocin, vasopressin, endogenous opioids, dopamine, and other helpful neurohormones to keep our moods balanced.

A Gopuff spokesperson said: “Kissing has a number of mental and physical benefits so this year, to celebrate International Kissing Day, we wanted to help everyone feel confident enough to get up close and personal – whether it is a peck on the cheek or a little bit more.”
