While our client was enjoying those 4  of our 7 bon bon flavors, he taught me a few things:  3 million Americans suffer from Celiac Disease, forcing them to follow a diet that’s free from wheat gluten so that they can feel better physically.  For those with a sensitivity to gluten, finding delicious foods to eat can be a challenge.  Imagine a life without cakes, cookies, bread, pasta, pizza, batter-fried foods, cereal, waffles, pancakes, ice cream cones, biscuits and croissants–you’d be craving bon bons too!

 

“I’m always looking for special food treats that are gluten-free”, our client told me.  “Advertise that you have gluten-free bon bons and you’ll make a million dollars!”

 

 We’ve yet to make that million dollars, but we are pleased to announce that we have built a group of appreciative clients who order assortments of our gluten-free bon bon flavors.  We’re also proud that thanks to following our clients’ input, we were ahead of the trend in the food industry to promote gluten-free awareness. 

 

According to The Today Show, 5% of Americans have a gluten intolerance, and one in 33 Americans has Celiac Disease — that’s not to mention the fact that 95% of Celiacs go undiagnosed. As a result, the gluten-free market is exploding.  Restaurants are offering gluten-free menus; food manufacturers are developing gluten-free products; gluten-free bakeries are popping up around the country; celebrities are converting to a gluten-free diet.  First Daughter Chelsea Clinton even served gluten-free cake at her recent wedding!  Now that all of the wedding planning is over, we’d like to suggest that Chelsea take a break.  She can sit around eating our gluten-free bon bons:  Café au Lait, Coconut, Pistachio, and Peanut Buttah.  I bet her dad would willing scarf up our other three flavors:  Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Cookies ‘n Creme, and Fudge Brownie!
