Say what? Candy taste tester?
A website called Candy Funhouse sells candy online. And they’re looking to hire their first “Chief Candy Officer” with a salary of $100,000 a year.
Anyone over the age of FIVE can apply, and there’s no previous work experience necessary. You just have to love candy . . . be willing to taste-test a ton of it . . . and have no serious food allergies.
They’re based in Canada, so that’s 100 grand in Canadian dollars, or about $78,000 U.S. But they say the job can be done remotely.
The main job duties are being their “head taste-tester” and deciding which products to carry. One story we saw claimed you have to taste-test 3,500 candies a MONTH, or more than 100 a day. But whoever wrote that is wrong. That’s just the total number of products they currently sell.
If you . . . or your child . . . are interested, you have until the end of August to apply on LinkedIn. They say it comes with “an extensive dental plan.”
