Two words: Free Samples. At <a href="https://www.albanesecandy.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-name="www.albanesecandy.com/" data-module="content engagement" data-position="embedded links">Albanese Candy Factory</a>, they firmly believe in “try before you buy” so you’ll want to taste test what they’ve deemed to be the world’s best gummies. Afterward, tour the gummy plant to see where all those bears and worms are made.

Albanese Candy Factory offers thousands of options including bulk candy, nostalgic candy, nuts and mixes, gift items, and of course the World’s Best Gummies and Chocolates.

Reddit user, u/youcanneverbanme recently asked their fellow Hoosiers in the Indiana subreddit what they liked about living here. The question received hundreds of responses and the vast majority of them were positive. Of course, there were some that were negative because there are sad people who are perpetually angry on the internet and want everyone to know it for some reason, but we won't concern ourselves with those. We want to focus on the good, and when it comes to the good, there's plenty of it to enjoy.
