The New York Times (March 23, 2009) reports that as unemployment rises and investment porfolios shrink, Americans - particularly adults - have been consuming a growing volume of candy. There are several theories as to why Americans are appeasing their sweet tooth more frequently. The Times suggests that the sugar might lift the spirits of those bogged down by the bad economy. For others, the Times says candy provides a nostralgic reminder of the good old days. Analysts say that when times are tough, many people feel the need to indulge themselves.
