Candy and the Economy
Candy and the Economy
Everyone loves candy. That probably explains why
the
U.S. makes over $28.9 million dollars from it a year! No
matter how hard we try to follow that diet...
(or save our money) we just can't get enough of those
sugary sweets.
Diet Candies
It seems we all want a healthy alternative to a fatty candy these days... and candy sales say it all. The diet candy industry over the past year has risen over 90%! The sugarless candy industry has quadrupled over the past 4 years from 1 million to over 4 million!! Now that's what you call a major increase.
Sugary Sweets
And now we come to the most
moneymaking type of candy in the word... ever! And to think these
candies are only made by melting sugar in water. The true candy
industry is booming... and the United States economy is loving it.
Each year, we each splurge over $500.00 in candy. Now that's a lot
of money! But with over 1,000 different candies how can you
resist?!?
Chocolate
Face it. We all love chocolate. White chocolate, dark chocolate,
milk chocolate... there's so many types to choose from. How can you
resist? The selling of chocolate says just how much we can resist
it. Over 17.5 million dollars. It seems where ever you go today
there's chocolate. From convenience stores to Staples, everywhere
you go, you're surrounded by the heavenly confection. And with the
prices of chocolate plunging... how can you not get addicted?
