Candy is Dandy But Liquor's More Profitable.
I stumbled on this report published in early 2023.
=13px
=13pxI was surprised Spirits have pulled slightly ahead of beer in Market Share while wine is a distant 3rd.
=13pxI thought with all the wine memes on the net it had a bigger footprint.
=13pxI gather the reason Spirits have taken a big jump is various smaller items like Tequila, Cordials, Rums, have developed a loyal following. Vodka holds onto #1 but pre-mixed cocktails are balls to the wall gaining due to convenience and portability.

This sort of stuff your may find interesting, worth a cursory check or eyeroll and move on.
That's the best part of my edumacation program, it's not mandatory and we still validate parking.

Sometimes candy isn't dandy at all...

Re: Candy is Dandy But Liquor's More Profitable.
Someone did a poll on candy brand recognition.
Probably to convince makers to up their advertising budget.
If that's true can it be trusted?

I don't remember Milka by name, but I looked it up and recognize the packaging.

Re: Candy is Dandy But Liquor's More Profitable.
Most of the names at the bottom are companies that offer multiple candy bars, while most of the names at the top are individual candy bars.
Kinder surprises me that it has such a presence. I see it in stores, and assume they must be paying for product placement. They used to have the surprise eggs that were banned in the US, and that was the only reason they were on my radar at all. I'd always buy them when travelling abroad. The chocolate is ok, but nothing special. Does anyone know of anyone who eats Kinder?

Kinder Eggs used to be everywhere till the feds banned them.
I could mail order them from Canada for awhile then that stopped.
They had great toys inside which were deemed a choking hazard like Cracker Jacks toys.
And like Cracker Jack, Kinder had to come up with sucky stuff to satisfy the feds.
Hey, don't give chokers to kids. Will you outlaw screws, thumbtacks, washers, and nuts?

The top three "light" American beers must be made there, right? Maybe most of them.
Who the hell would ship them halfway around the world?

Cadbury’s loses royal warrant for the first time in 170 years
It can’t possibly taste as good after that, can it?
(I think it may remain one of my favorites.)

Re: Candy is Dandy But Liquor's More Profitable.
Decanted a bottle of 1994 Fonseca Vintage Port for Christmas. One of the top port houses that yielded one of the two best bottlings (tied for perfect ratings) of that great vintage. 30 y.o. and fresh as a daisy. This is my last bottle of 1994 Vintage Port, it was interesting to see how they held up and evolved over the decades. Wouldn’t live long enough to begin that experience today.

Re: Candy is Dandy But Liquor's More Profitable.
New Year’s Day I opened a bottle of white wine - 1995 Foreau, Domaine du Clos Naudin, Vouvray, Moelleux Réserve. This is a nearly 30 y.o. botrytized Chenin Blanc. The color is now a deep amber (like a tawny port); but, it’s rich, sweet and actually still quite lively with balanced acidity. A delicious treat with which to start the new year. Glad I bought it about 25 years ago.

Thinking about both your Christmas and New Year dessert choices makes my mouth water, even at 9 AM.
