The sweetest survey results are here❣️ 🍭🍬 On Maryland Day, we asked how much you were willing to pay for a piece of candy. Nearly 700 people responded giving us this tasteful insight on consumer willingness! If this triggers your sweet tooth, check out AREC to be apart of many more insightful opportunities!
P.S.- parents were sorry your children said they would pay $5+ for one fun sized candy piece. With that being said if they’re still in the market for singular candy pieces please contact us for pricing. ;)
