			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://www.candymachines.com/Ice-Cream-Cones-Candy-P213C9.aspx"><img title="Ice Cream Cone Candy" src="http://www.candymachines.com/images/bulk_candy/ice_cream_candy_4299.jpg" alt="Ice Cream Cone Candy" width="150"  /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Ice Cream Cone Candy</p></div>
<p>Everyone has a different sense of taste, whether you&#8217;re talking about clothes, furniture or food. A recent Danish study has found that girls have a better sense of food taste than boys, while boys are the ones with a sweet tooth. This information will help food, drink and candy developers to determine future tastes for the products they manufacture.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The study also noted that girls generally like milder flavors, while boys tend to like the extreme sweet and sour flavors.</p>
<p>The Danish study of 8,900 school children, reportedly the world&#8217;s largest, will help food formulators better understand the preferences and tastes of children and young people.</p>
<p>The study included a complete kit of taster samples and detailed instructions. The tests included measuring the number of taste buds, quantifying the children&#8217;s sweet and sour taste thresholds and answering questions on their eating habits and fussiness over food.</p>
<p>Although everyone has the same number of taste buds, apparently when children become teenagers their taste buds change and so do their food preferences.</p>
<p>Vending machine owners can use this information to place specific candy where children and teenagers are mostly likely to be. That would include pizza parlors, convenience stores, arcades and supermarkets.</p>
<p>For girls vendors might want to stock their machines with the milder candies like <a href="http://www.candymachines.com/Ice-Cream-Cones-Candy-P213C9.aspx">Ice Cream Cones Candy </a>and <a href="http://www.candymachines.com/Skittles-Candy-40-lbs-P1182C9.aspx">Skittles Candy </a>. For the boys with a sweet or sour tooth try <a href="http://www.candymachines.com/Super-Sours-Bulk-Candy--P1277C9.aspx">Super Sours </a>, <a href="http://www.candymachines.com/Sour-Sweets-P90C9.aspx">Sour Sweets </a>or <a href="http://www.candymachines.com/Sweet-Revenge-Candy-P94C9.aspx">Sweet Revenge Candy </a>. Vendors can choose from a huge selection of bulk candies at reasonable prices at <a href="http://www.candymachines.com/Default.aspx">candymachines.com </a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A recent report by Global Industry Analysts (GIA) predicts healthier eating patterns and strong economic growth in developing and developed markets will boost global confectionery sales to $159.6 billion by 2010, thanks to sugarless sweets and chocolate sales.</p>
<p>Around the world, consumers are redirecting their taste toward healthy low-carb foods including confections, which are becoming a staple snack instead of a treat. This trend is occurring in Europe and the US. Meanwhile, Latin America and Asia Pacific have the fastest growing markets worldwide, with projected compound annual growth rates of 5.7% and 5.5% respectively.</p>
<p>Examples of these products for consumers include <a title="S-free Gumballs 9oz" href="http://www.candymachines.com/Sugar-Free-Gumballs-9-oz-P252C41.aspx">Sugar-free Gumballs 9oz.</a> and <a title="S-free Gumballs 16oz" href="http://www.candymachines.com/Sugar-Free-Gumballs-16-oz-P361C41.aspx">16oz.</a>, while Bulk operators can increase their profits by filling machines with products that keep up with market trends, such as <a title="S-free Gumballs 19lb" href="http://www.candymachines.com/Sugar-Free-Gumballs-19lbs-P362C41.aspx">Sugar-free Gumballs 19lb.</a> and <a title="S-free Chicle 25lb" href="http://www.candymachines.com/Sugar-Free-Chicle-Gum-P253C41.aspx">Sugar-free Chicle Gum 25lb.</a></p>
