Have you imagined one day getting rich by eating candies? Candy Funhouse, a Canadian candy company, is offering the very sweet job. The company, which sells from chocolate bars to soft sweets online, is hiring a $78,000 a year, work-from-home job as its Chief Candy Officer. Duties include: “leading candy board meetings, being the head taste tester… and all things fun.”
“Several thousand people have already applied,”said Chief Executive Officer Jamal Hejazi. He noted that he has been surprised by the number of applications and the videos of entire families offering to share the tasting duties.
Candy Funhouse is run by four brothers and sisters who grew up in this area. The family hoped to differ their company from others with an “unusual” mix of products, no minimum orders — “we’ll sell one candy” — and a strong push on social media. Unexpectedly, sales in 2021 were over $15 million. “I’m not kidding,” Hejazi said.
The company said the Chief Candy Officer position is open to people as young as five years old — although their parents’ agreement comes first. “Many parents have filmed their child filling out the application and posted it online. The company has 340, 000 followers on social media such as Instagram and Tik-Tok, including a Kardashian,” Hejazi said.
Hejazi also noted that reports on social media saying that the. Chief Candy Officer will be required to eat 3, 500 pieces of candy per month are incorrect. “That would be 117 a day,”
Hejazi said. “That’s too many.”
Right now, the company is preparing for Halloween, its biggest sales period last year. “We have 40% of our supply in so far,” . Hejani said. Last week, candy company Hershey reported that it will have difficulty in meeting Halloween-related demand this year.

When she was just 9 years old, Hilde Lysiak became famous across the United States for reporting on different news stories.
Hilde Lysiak’s father was a reporter for New York Daily News. When she was young, he often took her to work with him, so she developed a strong interest in news reporting.
At age 8, Hilde Lysiak started her own newspaper, called Orange Street News (OSN). Her family lived on Orange Street at the time. Hilde Lysiak wanted to cover stories important to everyone in her town. Following the rules her father had taught her, she researched and reported stories in her monthly newspaper. She also set up her own website and reported on YouTube.
OSN suddenly became famous when a murder happened in town, and 9-year-old Hilde was the first person to report it. Soon, news organizations around the country were writing and reporting stories about Hilde. However, not everyone was happy about Hilde’s efforts. Some people criticized (批评) her parents for allowing her to report on something as unpleasant as a murder. Others criticized Hilde for “pretending to be a reporter”. Hilde was upset about the complaints (埋怨). She responded with a YouTube video, “I never began my newspaper so that people would think I was cute,” she said. “I want to be taken seriously. I am sure other kids do, too.”
That wasn’t the first time Hilde had found it hard for people to take her seriously, which was mainly because of her age. But she never let that stop her. Hilde continued reporting.
In 2019, Hilde wrote a book for young people, called Hilde Cracks the Case, which is based on stories that Hilde wrote. The book was then turned into a TV show called Home Before Dark. For now, Hilde says she has given up reporting. But her efforts have already inspired people around the world.
