Life is sweet

At a time when obesity levels continue to rise, the numbers on candy sales are staggering. Candy is apparently a big, tasty business. What does the world’s sweet tooth crave? Take a look at the products with the highest annual sales worldwide.

I didn’t notice the ubiquitous Kit Kat bar anywhere in the top sellers. I’m surprised. I found those bars in every flavor in some of the most remote places on earth.

I’m as guilty as anyone. A bag of peanut butter M&Ms is a good thing.

    Interesting amount of gum that is popular, as is HALLS.

    My two favorites: York Peppermint Patties and Baci — both delicious dark chocolate, with with peppermint and the other with hazelnuts.

    Yum!
