Sweets & Snacks Expo Arrives in Chicago
This week, Chicago is a one-stop shop for folks in food-related industries. On Saturday, the National Restaurant Assocation, Hotel-Motel (NRA) Show, the restaurant and hotel industry's largest trade show, opened at McCormick Place. It was joined today by the National Confectioners Associaton's Sweets & Snacks Expo, the largest trade show in the Americas dedicated to candy and snacks.
Over 480 manufacturers with more than 2,000 new confections and snacks will greet visitors to the Sweets & Snacks Expo in the West Building of McCormick Place until Thursday. Big companies like Mars will reveal new varieties of classic products like Pretzel M&Ms and Truffle Crisp 3 Musketeers, while lesser-known manufacturers like Flamous will try to become, well, famous, with unique products like Falafel Chips.

Wouldn't this have been more on-time and useful if you'd posted it last week not 7 hours AFTER the event had ended?
