Are you offering cookies in your micro market or vending machines?
If so, you’re making a smart choice. Thanks to recent data from
researchandmarkets.com
, we know that cookie sales grew by an astounding 147% during the COVID-19 crisis.
This statistic makes sense because of the simple fact that during trying times, many people will reach for their favorite comfort foods and cookies remain a universal favorite comfort food to many people around the world.
About Cookie Demand During COVID-19
Now that most states are reopening, we can thankfully look back on COVID-19 and study its effects around the world, especially its effect on the snack food industry.
One of the interesting things about the data from
researchandmarkets.com
is that we know in March, cookie sales in the United States increased by roughly 20% This is huge news because cookies have always been a staple of the American diet but, there’s never been that much demand for cookies until now.
Back in the early days of COVID-19, it stands to reason why people were reaching for cookies regularly because, as many restaurants were closing down across the United States vending machines remained open as well as micro–markets and most supermarkets.

DRINK HINT:
Even though everyone knows that they need to drink more water, the reality is that very few people consume water that they need daily. Most people are lacking in the water that they need and are even on the verge of being dehydrated without even knowing it.
Hint’s Fruit Infused Water Is the Solution to People Needing More Water
Hint has the solution for the problem with water thanks to its delicious fruit infused water. Each bottle is not going to add any extra calories, sugar, preservatives, or sweeteners to the average person’s diet, because it’s water, with a little bit of fruit flavor.
Anyone can enjoy a delicious bottle of Hint water while still consuming something that they enjoy.
Most people who consume soda, coffee, tea, and other beverages regularly know that they need to drink more water but the reality is that it’s not uncommon for somebody to not have the ability to consume water like they did when they were younger.
