I spent 20 years of my life in the Internet candy distribution business. This bucket is dedicated to the hard working people in the candy business. There will be plenty more to add to this bucket as I find the time.

How Jelly Beans are Made

Here's how jelly beans are made. I once was given a personal tour of Gimbals Candy who was once a competitor to Jelly Belly (since sold to Jelly Belly). So much fun!

Top Candy Companies in North America

I need to find a better list. This one is good but there are some non-candy companies in here. Looks like they are combining with snacks.

I have to give this guy credit for bringing back Wacky Wafers, Astro Pops and Tart N Tinys in they way he did. The product seems to be exactly the same as it was way back in the day. I had the opportunity to buy the Astro Pops brand once and trademark Wacky Wafers when the trademark expired and did not follow through either time. I did not have the guts to take the risk at that point in my life. Good thing too because I would not have had the skill to bring back the way he did. Congrats for saving these wonderful candies!

America’s Favorite Candy Roll

Smarties® are so simple but so good! This company was started in 1949 by Edward Dee and is now run by 3 of his grand daughters. I love how they have not messed with tradition and kept the product consistent throughout the years. I have one complaint: bring back the just married candy rolls!

Remember Lifesavers Mini Rolls?

We sold a bunch of these and would have to order from a small Wrigley factory in Canada. I so enjoyed unwrapping a fresh pallet of these wonderful candies. The factory packed them with care with brown kraft paper. I wrote a long two page letter to the billionaire Mr. Wrigley begging him not to discontinue this unique candy. I received no response LOL. Big mistake from a huge company. If Full Sort ever adds notes I may post this letter here.

Wilbur Chocolate | Buy Wilbur Buds

These are simply amazing. I recently visited their wonderful factory store in Lititz, PA. I thought I knew everything about candy. My warehouse landlord in Philadelphia asked me if I carried Wilbur Buds. I said, "what are those?" So I found them about 1 hour from where I was located. That's the beauty of the candy industry...there are too many companies to count.
