Business Builders in Sweets and Treats


There will be a 1-minute interval in between lots closing. 5 minutes will get added to the clock when a bid is received within 5 minutes of the lot ending.
The Business Builders series has a real winner in this energetically written study of Hershey and chocolate, Wrigley and chewing gum, Ben and Jerry and ice cream, and others who make things we love to eat. Aaseng nicely balances descriptions of those who were successful because of marketing (Ellen Gordon and the Tootsie Roll) or a specific recipe (Krispy Kreme donuts and their sugary aroma). He also makes clear how hard it is to make money and keep making money, on any product. A few well-chosen sidebars document sweets that don't get a whole chapter, like Twinkies and Life Savers. Excellent sources and citations, boxed facts, a lively style, and sometimes mouth-watering pictures finish the package.
