A LOT of this has to do with sugar tariffs.

Sugar wholesales for less than 50 cents/pound. It's far more likely that cheaper labor led to this decision.

We can't blame this on the unions either - they could have easily moved the facilities to a southern right to work state.

A lot of the candy now comes from Canada, which is pretty close to us in wages. Certainly labor comes into play as a factor for Mexico. Do note that a 2 litre bottle of Soda has about a quarter pound of sugar in it. A difference of 3 or 4 cents per unit on a product that wholesales for under a dollar can be huge.
