A Canadian woman who revived a candy bar as a side hustle had to give 133,000 away for free
, about 5,500 boxes containing 133,000 Rum & Butter chocolate bars suddenly bombarded her last June.
They all had the same expiration date of June 2023. While Canadian regulations don't require expiry dates on candy, the self-imposed date on the bars meant stores stopped accepting them in January, BBC News reported. "It's immense," Westergard told the Globe and the Mail."If I think about it too much, I'll start to shake."
She's struggled to give away the retro candy bars, even for free. The shipment was stored in a food warehouse in Calgary, Alberta, a three-hour drive from her home, in massive pallets that were difficult to separate.But after the Globe and Mail published its story, requests for the bars inundated Westergard.
She was able to give away all her bars in bulk to several organizations, including Calgary's drop-in center for homeless people, a Ukrainian church helping newly arrived refugees, and a fire department in Saskatchewan, the BBC reported.Sign up for notifications from Insider!
