TEXT 2: THIS JOB IS A PIECE OF CAKE!

1 It turns out you might be able to eat candy for a living and make thousands in the process. Canada's Candy Funhouse is hiring

2 a chief candy officer, according to a recent job posting.

3 "Do you love candy and chocolate? Are you passionate about sweet treats and exploring unreleased and existing products? If

4 so, this is the perfect position for you!" the description reads. The Ontario-based company says the position pays 100,000 Canadian

5 dollars annually. The job can be remote or based in its Canada or New Jersey offices.

6 The chief candy officer will serve as head taste tester and try over 3,500 products monthly. Besides eating about 113 pieces

7 of candy a day, the chief candy officer will lead the company's candy strategy, run candy board meetings and have a say in which

8 products Candy Funhouse will release into the market. Applicants can be as young as 5 years old and must reside in North

9 America.

10 "All you need is a passion for candy and pop culture, and obviously a sweet tooth!" According to the job description, the chief

11 candy officer will also undergo "extensive palate training," which will be provided by the company. No previous experience is

12 necessary. So far, nearly 6,500 people have applied for the job. Inquiries on the job are so numerous that the company has

13 admitted that its usual response time is delayed.

14 The position no doubt involves excessive consumption of sugar, which the World Health Organization recommends limiting to

15 10% of the daily calorie intake. Too much sugar can increase the risk of Type-2 diabetes and heart disease. At least, the job

16 posting specifies that the position comes with an "extensive dental plan."
