Candy Funhouse is currently looking for someone willing to taste 3,500 candies per month, for an annual salary of $100,000.
People with high blood sugar, diabetes, or those who are not fond of sweets, this article is not for you. But if you’ve ever wanted to get paid to eat candy, here’s your chance.
Candy Funhouse, a Canadian store, released an announcement just as professional as it is unusual. She is officially looking for a candy taster, who will be paid 100,000 Canadian dollars (i.e. 77,000 euros) per year. Even if this ad may make more than one dream, do not send your application right away. The person selected for this position will have to eat 3,500 sweets per monthmaking more than a hundred a day.
“At the beginning of last year, we were looking for bonbonlogues, our tasters of original flavors […] We are now looking for our General Manager of Confectionery, who will gently guide our candy lovers!” Vanessa Janakijevski-Rebelo, spokesperson for the store, told AFP.
The one who will be chosen will therefore become the general manager of confectionery and will guide the “three candy lovers” already present in the company. He will be responsible for approving new products, organizing “confectionery board meetings” or to assume the role of “head taster”. In other words, it is a role where the taste and the palate will be essential and harshly put to the test.
100,000 applications sent in two weeks
The offer is open to anyone living in North America who is five years of age or older. Candy Funhouse reported having rreceived over 100,000 applications in just two weeks. “The majority are from adults, but about 25% are children”detailed the spokesperson for the company.
On Twitter, an American user named Matthew Crooks explains that his 8-year-old daughter had applied, and even created her LinkedIn profile for the occasion. “Thank you for helping her learn about the job and the importance of a strong resume, even though she’s only 8 years old,” writes this father.
