Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The decline is attributed to consumers grappling with high living costs, including gas prices that rose nearly 40% from the prior year. This pressure is dampening demand for treats, as U.S. candy and gum prices have climbed 44% over five years.
