I'd be worried about eating candy constantly for the sake of your teeth. You might want to try Trident gum, which is also tasty and should actually be slightly good for your teeth. Gum chewing is supposed to improve alertness and focus, although I find that if I spend too much of the day chewing it, I get this weird sense of burnout.
It's not that constant. I'm fairly sure I've been eating less candy under the system than I would if I had a no-strings-attached bag of candy corn, anyhow...
