Hershey's website doesn't have an answer for you, so I checked Wikipedia.
Wikipedia says that it's a brand thing. It was to show the purchaser/consumer that the chocolate was genuine Hershey's chocolate. See the quote below.
"The candies were originally wrapped by hand. Automated wrapping began in 1921. The same automatic wrapping process allowed for the insertion of the distinctive paper "plume," that the company used to guarantee that consumers were getting the genuine Hershey product, rather than an imitation. This thin paper strip was registered as a company trademark in 1924."
What Wikipedia calls the "plume," Hershey's calls the "flag" or "plume."
BTW, did you know that the streetlights in Hershey, Pennsylvania, the home of Hershey Chocolate, are shaped like Hershey 's Kisses? Some are brown, like the Kiss itself, and some are silver, like the wrapped Kiss. The wrapped ones even have the flag. See the second link for a picture of the Kiss.
Also, Kisses have been around since 1907. Hershey is celebrating their 100th anniversary this year.
The last link has a history of the Hershey's Kiss.

You can't really tell. Some people have weird ways of saying things or showing interest in someone. Some people are really assholes and he might be just doing it for kicks. But the point is. I think that he is interested in you. But in what way?? Hard to say. It might be because he likes you but too embarrassed to say it. He might be just pulling your legs and just like to make fun of people. Don't worry though. If he goes overboard with his jokes, you have the right to slap him. But if he is just making light of things in life, don't take it against him. Just let him be. Don't think too much of him though, as you might end up falling for him which might NOT be what he wants. So be cool. Roll with the punchline. Don't let him get to you coz that is exactly what he wants.

Yanking on the paper makes it easier to peal the foil, for folks that chew their fingernails and can't scrap under the foil.

To make it easier for you to remove the wrapper & it's a trademark of Hershey's kisses.

-----I think it allows you to easily open the wrapper by pulling on it. Flashlight-type battery--"AA", "C", "D", etc.-- compartments have the same thing in the ribbon that you pull to upset the batteries, making them easy to remove without having to use and perhaps break your fingernails. Women with long fingernails find them especially convenient. ---Jim

Because it helps to pull on the string to remove the Tin Foil! I don't think it would be fun without one!
