Wrigley's Candy Tasting Internship

Imagine having a fully paid internship to taste test candy for eight to twelve weeks. In Chicago, Mars Wrigley announced they are going to offer an internship to a certain candy lover willing to test new candy flavors. The winning canidate will also be in charge of organizing public activities for the company, creating their own chewing gum flavor, visiting other Wrigley facilities across the country, and sharing their experience on social media. Wrigley is looking for an intern who is at least 21 years old, and who isn't afraid to walk up to someone's house on Halloween to ring their doorbell. They would also like them to have passion for Chicago, and be able to keep a potted peppermint plant alive for a minimum of eight weeks.

Would you take the job to become a candy taste tester? 

I would the job in a heart beat. Taste testing candy with full pay for eight to twelve weeks sounds like a blast. I would also like the idea of getting to opportunity to make my own gum flavor. 

If you got the internship, what kind of gum flavor would you like to produce? 

If I got the internship, I would create a fruit punch type gum flavor, or a sour cherry or apple. I would also want the flavor to last for a couple of hours instead of wearing away in ten minutes.

    • I would buy the gum flavor apple or banana. It may take awhile for me to start liking the flavor, but I think I would come around to liking it. I would also take the internship because who would not like to eat candy as a job. 

    • I agree that a job where you just tatse candy all the time and get paid would be fun and I would take a job like that. I also think that it would be very cool if someone could make a gum that lasts a day.

  • I also agree I would take the job in a heart beat, you're getting paid to taste candy, why wouldn't you want this job! I agree too like imagine being able to make your own gum flavor that'd be pretty cool. I would want to make maybe like a coconut flavor that tastes like the coconut jelly bean or like a fruit punch like you said and have it definetly last longer.

    • I agree why wouldnt you want a job where all you do is taste test candy. I guess your health may not end up being the best. I would alos enjoy a coconut gum flavor, and I would also enjoy a gum that would last longer. 

  • I think that I would take the job because you would get paid for eating candy everyday. I would also like traveling to different facilities across the country. I agree, I would make one that's fruity and that lasts longer than the ones that are being produced today.

  • I think that I would probably take the job because you get to taste all kinds of candy and get paid to do it, but I don't think that I would want this as a long term job becuase it would be unhealthy. I agree that I would want to make a type of gum where the flavor lasts longer.

    • I would also take the job because you get to taste test all kinds of candy and get paid as well. I would also not work here for a long time in terms of my health. I would really enjoy a gum thats flavor lasted longer. 

  • Of course. Tasting candy while getting paid is the dream of a lifetime for adults and young children. You don't even have to work as much as others. There are so many different types of gum that I would blend them all together and see what happened.

  • My first thought of being a candy taste tester sound super fun and interesting, but the more I think about about it being a candy taste tester would be very unhealthy. I also think taste testing would get tiring and after working for a little while I will want to quit.  

    • I feel the same way. Candy testing would eventually lead to cavities and potential weight gain. I would also likely get bored of the job and likely quick. I think the job would be fun for maybe the first few weeks of the internship.
