What you asked!

We took a poll of our Customer Service Representatives this week and asked what the two top questions (and answers) were this week. 

Can I place an order in advance and have it held for shipment for a later arrival date?
 

Absolutely. If you have a special event and need your items to arrive on a specific date, you can always call in your order to us at 1.800.849.0772. Our representatives will do everything possible to meet your needs. 

  
 How many pieces of candy come in a five pound bag?

This varies depending on the candy. For example, the Bleeps candy is a 1 inch diameter solid pressed candy. Alternately, the King Leo Soft Peppermint Puffs are porous, airy pieces. One pound of s Bleeps candy has approximately 43 pieces; the King Leo Peppermint Puffs have 82 pieces per pound. We include this information in our product descriptions wherever possible, but if you do not see this information for your item, please email or call for more information.

As always feel free to submit any questions or concerns to us via http://www.candycrate.com/info.html.

Hi Chew

Hi Chew was originally released on 1975, it was created by Taichiro Morinaga to emulate chewing gum. According to the Japanese culture, it is considered taboo to remove something from your mouth after it has already been chewed. In order to overcome this Moringaga created an edible chewing gum first known as Chewlets in 1931. After WWII the company was reformulated and introduced as Hi Chew.
While only offered in Strawberry, Green Apple, Mango, Melon, Grape, Peach, and Banana in the United States, Japan has a much more extensive flavor base including Cotton Candy and Strawberry Cheesecake.
