One candy I’ve always loved but is hard to find is Swedish Fish, loose by the pound. It seems to be an entirely different candy than the little bags. I wish I knew why it has such a scatter-shot marketing plan. I guess there’s not much money in unadvertised candy. On the one hand, I wish Kraft-Lifesavers division would pick it up and push it. On the other I know if it wasn’t an immediate success they would drop it entirely. This is the dilemma for all small time candies. No way to get shelf space. But if you get on board with the big boys for placement, you might trip and end up in the nostalgia blogs. ---
