Swedish Candy, Pez Secrets and Brutally Honest Snack Reviews | GroDega Ep. 52

Welcome to Grovara – The Leading Global B2B Wholesale Marketplace! Peter and Vic are back for part two of their Sweets & Snacks Expo taste test, and this round gets even more unpredictable. They try calming chocolate, Dubai-inspired candy, Swedish sweets, international gummies, sweet corn crackers, Kate’s Real Food bars, Pez, strange powders, coffee that definitely was not candy, and several products that immediately required the spittoon. Along the way, they break down what trade shows are really for, how serious buyers and brands use conventions to build deals, and why flavor is only one part of a successful CPG product. Packaging, texture, nostalgia, branding, buyer relationships, and follow-up all matter. The episode also includes Peter’s Pez collection, Vic’s turn inside a pickle mascot costume, an awkward Uncrustables encounter, and a surprise face-off with a professional wrestler. Grovara is the Trusted Global Wholesale Network where vetted brands, buyers, and Deal Makers can discover products, build direct relationships, order samples, and transact globally.
