This is a random suggestion but it came to mind when some of the cups were messed up: I’m not sure that you guys do with the defected candies (defected as in not how it was supposed to turn out/broken) but it would be cool if you made some sort of mystery box that would include like 3 or 4 defected candies instead of throwing them out... or doing whatever you’d usually do with them. You could sell the mystery boxes on your online shop (or irl store.) Sort of like how the brand Jellybelly sells bags of “Jellybelly flops” (aka jelly beans that are misshapen.) So... instead of “wasting” candy you could reuse it as another product that you’d gain profit off of. What I just said may not make a whole lot of sense (It’s very late where I’m from and I’m tired) but I think a lot of people would like a “mystery box” type product with defected/broken candies.

But my favorite by far, is the PB filled molasses ribbon candy. I purchased it as a gift for my dad, but HOLY MOLY....I may eat the whole batch and order him something else!

Well, actually, aluminium is infinitely recyclable and uses 95% less energy/resources to recycle than to produce from mining. But, few people realize that you can simply accumulate your little foil in a jar and when you have enough you just put it on a regular used foil sheet (like after cooking stuff on it), fold it over so the small pieces don't fall out, crumple it all into a ball, and put it in the recycle bin. That's what we do in my house. Plastic wrapping often doesn't recycle very well though, and is not biodegradable either. Also, plastic particles can be very reactive inside living organisms. It's not that bad when it's incinerated, though. Depends how waste is processed where you live.
