Sugar lollipops, witch’s whistle and circus saxophones can be found in many connoisseurs’ loose candy bags.
A little over 80 percent of consumers prefer familiar, favorite sweets in their bag of loose candy, according to a confectionery study conducted by Cloetta.
Fruit and berry sweets can be found in almost every loose candy bag sold, but so can salmiakki. 67 percent of the respondents choose salmon in their bag, which is surprising, since salmon only accounts for nine percent of total sales. In practice, a few pleasant salmiakki candies are snapped into the bag.
The place of chocolate on bulk candy shelves may have been debated, but consumers’ opinion is quite clear about it: 61 percent of respondents put chocolate in their candy bag.
