Mars Wrigley seeks candy expert for 'World's Sweetest Internship'
Published in Weird News
(UPI) The Mars Wrigley company is seeking interns with special skills including being able to distinguish between flavors of Skittles in a blind taste test.
Mars Wrigley Confectionery posted a job opening seeking applicants for the "World's Sweetest Internship" in Chicago.
The posting says the company is seeking a "confectionery connoisseur" whose duties would include sampling the company's chocolate, gum and confections -- including several varieties not yet available to the public -- and producing a personalized batch of chewing gum.
The paid intern would be required to chronicle their 8-12 week experience with the company on social media.
The position, which includes a year's worth of candy as a signing bonus, features a few unusual qualifications for an "ideal candidate," including being able to distinguish all five fruity flavors from the Skittles rainbow in a blind taste-test.
The posting says ideal candidates should also be able to "blow bubbles with chewing gum that are greater than 5 inches in diameter."
"In your application, showcase why you should have the #WorldsSweetestInternship," the website states. Applicants will be asked to share a creative and social media portfolio during the interview process.
