Sounds good, but you would probably test a lot of bad candy.

I don't know, this seems like the kind of deal that could bite you in the ass big time.

Like you'd get so sick of candy you could never eat it again.

Seems like a lot of responsibly when taste is pretty subjective

open to anyone over the age of 5, the company said.

Throw in a couple of turquoise beads and we've got a deal.

As long as this isn't a scam to dispose of expired candy cheaply

Give the job to one of the Deathfats. I'm pretty sure they'd enjoy the job more than any of us.

That’s just called “turning 30”.

What if all the candies are the intentionally gross ones from those Harry Potter every flavor beans?

If I'm reading the careers page on their website correctly, the job offer is "work-from-home" however you pretty much have to be a resident of either Toronto or Newark and $78K C$100K per year isn't that much when you take into account the rent in Toronto. Plus, I don't want to live in Toronto.

We are looking for the world’s first and only Chief Candy Officer! This opportunity is work-from-home with the option to work out of either Toronto, Canada (Canadian Residents) or Newark, New Jersey (American Residents), paying up to $100,000 annually to lead the “FUNhouse” Candy Strategy. This includes approving all candy in inventory and deciding whether or not to award each treat with the official “CCO (Chief Candy Officer) Stamp of Approval”.

CORRECTION: The salary is $100,000 Canadian, the article just adjusted it into $78,000 U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate. Toronto would be more affordable at $100,000 Canadian but I still wouldn't want to live there. Hell, I'd rather live in Newark if it came down to it but I'm not a U.S. citizen.

Do they include a health plan for when you become too fat to stay alive reliably.
