I did a logo for and sign for a candy broker once. Seems to me that would be a giant score for a broker, probably cheaper than Costco too.
Mother's intuition tells me that this story doesn't wash.
Still doesn't wash with me, either. That was ALOT of cash. $35 grand spent, average $3.00 per bag - over 11000 bags of candy. What kind of vehicle were they driving? They'd need fork lifts just to get it all out of there.
