Candy Consumption: A Study




We keep a pint mason jar with candy filled for passer by's in our front office where I work.

Our boss one days asked, "Are you keeping track of what lasts the longest? Or how many times we come up here?"

We laughed and assured him we were not keeping track.


Usually it's a version of Starbust or Jolly Ranchers. Here lately a good mix of Halloween candy. 

Since the jar sits on my desk and I am the unofficial filler upper of the jar and since the question was asked, I've started to notice what goes faster.

  • Dum-Dums and similar things get picked over. 
  • Jolly Ranchers are a staple and well liked.
  • Starbursts - no matter the flavor or color - go pretty quick.
  • Mints even go pretty fast. We were surprised by that. 
 
One day Kelly brought chocolate in. It didn't last much more than a day! I don't think it would matter what kind of chocolate was in there.
You should see the look on their faces when they see an empty jar! Poor things! We feel awful if it's empty!
