If your ideal workday is sitting around, eating candy, and judging (whose isn't???), well, I have great news for you! This is an actual job that exists, you can get paid serious cash to do it, and more than one person will get the honor! It's all thanks to Candy Funhouse.
The company is hiring part-time and full-time "Candyologists," AKA Candy and Chocolate Taste Testers to help the company try out and narrow down which candies will be a part of the first-ever Candy Funhouse branded candy line. The line will feature 10 candies, but they'll first need to be narrowed down from hundreds of options. That's where you come in!
If you want the job, you should have "enthusiasm and eagerness to try confectionery products," and "consider aspects of taste, texture, and quality." You'll then have to write a brief, two-sentence description for each product tested. Basically, you have to really love candy and be willing to be a little judgy about it. DONE. Oh, and applicants who have an interest in candy, pop culture, and media will be given preference. Even better!!
Best of all this job PAYS. Like, pays WELL. The full-time position will net you $30 an hour, according to the Indeed listing, though you'll have to go to work in person, in Mississauga, ON, Canada. However, the part-time position requires 15 hours a week that can be done from home and you'll still earn $26 an hour. Two people will have the opportunity to be full-time employees, while they're choosing eight people to take the role part-time, according to a press release.
You have until February 15, 2021, to apply and you can find the full-time job listing here and the part-time job listing here. Applicants have to have a high school diploma and be a citizen of the U.S. or Canada to apply. You can see more application instructions on each job posting. GOOD LUCK!

Can’t pay me enough to move to Canadia!
Covered by Workman’s Comp?
I hate pop culture and media. With a passion!
I won’t even bother.
Can’t pay me enough to eat that sugary stuff
My grandmother worked in a candy store when she was quite young. She said you get tired of it real fast.
If it was the perfect job it wouldn’t pay that much. Taste testing is tough. Gotta keep your palette clean, and you gotta eat what they put in front of you no matter your mood.
I suppose Hugh Hefner made the same complaint.
perfect job....
What? And give up my career as mattress tester? Maybe part-time I guess.
LOL! I bet he actually did.
My pancreas hurts
Maybe. See also The Coolidge effect...
Only if the job comes with an excellent dental plan.
Good one.
Your post has been named an effective decay preventing measure by the American Council on Dental Therapeutics. Crest used to print that on every tube.
After a few seconds I actually remembered what that meant. Guess I'm not going Bidenish yet despite being 74 and a half.
I signed up for an ice cream survey and got paid to eat a lot of gourmet ice cream.
“You Can Get Paid $30 An Hour To Eat Candy...”
I won’t say it.
“Cake is good, but you cannot have sex with cake.”
Yes you can.
