Candy was first used as medicine for cooling

sore throats in Rome, East Asia, and Egypt.

Candy used to be made from honey. In those

days, only the wealthiest of people could

afford candy, but today, you can buy a

novelty chocolate bar for $1.00! Candy was

first made in America in 1800 using real sugar

instead of honey.

Peppermint candies can help the digestive

system and can help you mentally. People

who eat candy also live longer. Did you know

that cotton candy can be melted down to

make artificial blood vessels! If you eat

chocolate five or more times a week, it can

actually decrease the risk of heart disease by

60%! A boost of sugar can restore your

willpower and helps you focus.

More than 66% of the world’s cacao is produced

in Africa and 98% of the world’s cacao is

produced in just 15 different countries. Did

you know that more than twice as many

women than men eat and crave chocolate.

Terry’s of York will produce over 350million

segments of chocolate orange per year!
