Sweetest Day originates from a different holiday called Candy Day. Candy Day was founded in 1916 by the National Confectioners' Association, which wanted Americans to shop for sweet treats in local bakeries, candy shops, and drugstores.
Americans are renowned for their sweet tooth. According to research, 53.6% of men (20yrs or older) have at least one sugar-sweetened drink a day. Women (yrs or older) drink slightly less, but still, 45.1% have at least one sugar-sweetened drink per day.
One-quarter of Americans admit to having a piece of candy every day.
