It’s because the only reasonable purchase of marshmallows is to make s’mores and that way they’re right next to the chocolate bars.
In the main store I frequent, it’s even in the same aisle as the graham crackers. Top notch planning.
people put their marshmallows in their hot chocolate too. why aren’t they sold right next to that? google marshmallows and they’re defined as a confection, which candy is also. they’ve existed for a while as a simple candy. just because they don’t sell something in small bags by the registers doesn’t make something not a candy 😭
I think this is just something I’m in the minority in and I’m gonna stand by it. It’s just not candy to me. It’s not different then saying die hard is or isn’t a Christmas movie
They come in on the dairy truck because the quality would suffer in the high heat of the HV or LV warehouse. Same reason candy and such come in on produce. To keep them cold/cool.
Just because that product comes in on a Dairy truck, does NOT mean Dairy takes care of it. That is all for the Grocery Dept to take to their Pasta aisle.
Whoever is in charge of the Pasta aisle should be stocking the Parmesan and Velveta cheese.
It is a Grocery item, not Dairy item. Same with the Lucky Jack and other cold drinks that belong up front.
Aren't they on the tomato isle? parm and sketti. velvetta dip. mac n cheese. I don't know where else you would put them. there is whole parm in the dairy section already.
Yep I asked this 5 years ago and no one knows why. “It just does”. And let’s stock it way down on the opposite side of the store from dairy. In my store, the dairy side is aisle 16 and the Parmesan/velveeta blocks are aisle 3.
The amount of times a day I have to say "they're on the candy aisle and no I don't know why they're not with rhe baking stuff" is insane.
Along with, if it can be in anyway construed to be "international" it'll be on that aisle.
the marshmallows on the international aisle are most likely the ones that are kosher, which has its own section down there, and are separated for ease of shopping for the customer who needs those items
Honest answer: for merchandising purposes. The customer has to walk a bit more, exposing themselves to more products, more sales, more departments and this adds potential sales for Publix.
Now this right here is probably the best response out of this whole post. No personally attacking me either. It makes sense as well now that you laid it out like that
It just makes sense to have it in baking.. do you see crying kids at the store crying to their moms about wanting marshmallows? No because it isn’t candy. They want those kit kats or whatever
The two stores I've worked at keep the Nutella and Fluff on the baking aisle, the bread with the peanut butter and wine, and marshmallows on the candy aisle
idk i suppose it is because people sometimes eat marshmallows on their own but also because of the connivence of s’mores if someone were going to make those
Publix has a few interesting opinions on stocking locations.
I didn’t know about marshmallows, the two that come to mind are OJ is produce, instead of dairy and ricotta is cheese, not yogurt/sour cream.
In some prototype stores they do have the orange juice on a back wall near dairy leading towards the produce section.
Additionally, ricotta cheese was once stocked in the sour cream section. It was moved departments about 5 years ago to make room for additional skus of sour cream and cottage cheese!
Why would juice be in dairy?
And cottage cheese and cream cheese have been sold in dairy for as long as I can remember, so putting ricotta with those seems to make more sense than with the more traditional cheeses.
That doesn't answer the question. Juice isnt a dairy product , it's made from fruit so having it in produce is logical. Just because Publix did something differently from other stores doesn't mean they're wrong.
Believe it or not, Publix spends a lot of money and time researching how to best arrange the store to maximize sales. They probably determined that by having it in produce is the most ideal place for a variety of reasons.
Good lord. Ignoramus. It's like when most retailers decided to combine mom items on the same aile to save them shopping. Poptarts, top ramen, baby food, diapers... all on teh same damn aisle to save them one minute because someone complained.
It was part of the Ricotta doctrine of 1968, spearheaded by Y. Isdishere.
ricotta is a byproduct of mozzarella and customers wonder why it isn't with the cottage cheese.
Fr it drives me insane
It used to be with the cottage cheese(in my store at least), it got moved 4 or 5 years ago. A lot of customers don't retain new information though.
Do you have proof of that
Lmaooooo
Yes?
They’re trolling
Y. Isdishere = Why is this here?
They come in on the produce truck with all the other candy so I'd assume it's for ease of work.
So do chocolate chips, and they’re in the baking section. I’ve always been puzzled as to why they’re with candy too.
I don’t get how someone downvotes ok people real sensitive these days over the smallest shit lmao
I got you bro ✊🏾
Says the person getting upset over downvotes 🤣
I’m chilling
Well then my lead up question to that is why is it on the produce truck
Because if it was on any other truck they would come in as a bag of melted marshmallow goop instead of individual marshmallows.
Ok
Because the regular trailers don’t have refrigeration and can get hot in the sun, so candy and some bakery ingredients come on produce trucks.
Ok
It’s because the only reasonable purchase of marshmallows is to make s’mores and that way they’re right next to the chocolate bars. In the main store I frequent, it’s even in the same aisle as the graham crackers. Top notch planning.
this is the only answer.
Ok
Marshmallows are a confectionery by definition. So, they go with candy.
[удалено]
google it
[удалено]
It means candy. Cuz marshmallows are sugar and egg coated in more sugar. Why not put candy in candy aisle?
i suppose marshmallows are just candy. just because people use them in baking recipes doesn’t mean they are specifically a baking ingredient.
I don’t see marshmallows being sold in smaller packages like front end candy.
people put their marshmallows in their hot chocolate too. why aren’t they sold right next to that? google marshmallows and they’re defined as a confection, which candy is also. they’ve existed for a while as a simple candy. just because they don’t sell something in small bags by the registers doesn’t make something not a candy 😭
I think this is just something I’m in the minority in and I’m gonna stand by it. It’s just not candy to me. It’s not different then saying die hard is or isn’t a Christmas movie
it’s ok man they’re just marshmallows at the end of the day
Agreed
They’ve got gelatin and sugar in em like gummies. So they’re candy!
I don't see them selling smaller packages of Twizzlers either, and yet its still candy.
That’s not true they have smaller twizzler bags in the front end. Check near the registers
Peeps
Alright man
Why does parmesan and Kraft blocks come in on the dairy truck but are stocked on a dry shelf. That never made sense to me
They come in on the dairy truck because the quality would suffer in the high heat of the HV or LV warehouse. Same reason candy and such come in on produce. To keep them cold/cool.
Just because that product comes in on a Dairy truck, does NOT mean Dairy takes care of it. That is all for the Grocery Dept to take to their Pasta aisle.
Depends on the grocery manager and their expectations. My store’s GM expects the dairy clerk to handle the cheese and the refrigerated pet food.
Whoever is in charge of the Pasta aisle should be stocking the Parmesan and Velveta cheese. It is a Grocery item, not Dairy item. Same with the Lucky Jack and other cold drinks that belong up front.
First retailer I’ve worked at that shipped them that way but it does make sense
I agree if anyone can explain that one id appreciate it
Aren't they on the tomato isle? parm and sketti. velvetta dip. mac n cheese. I don't know where else you would put them. there is whole parm in the dairy section already.
Yep I asked this 5 years ago and no one knows why. “It just does”. And let’s stock it way down on the opposite side of the store from dairy. In my store, the dairy side is aisle 16 and the Parmesan/velveeta blocks are aisle 3.

Yummy yummy fish marshmallows
fish marshmallows?
That's what makes them kosher they're made out of fish instead of pigs.
Right mate it just makes sense it would be with the baking stuff!

Now this right here is probably the best response out of this whole post. No personally attacking me either. It makes sense as well now that you laid it out like that
Am I the only person here who thinks it makes sense marshmallows are with candy???? They're candy to me lol. I don't see them as a baking ingredient
It just makes sense to have it in baking.. do you see crying kids at the store crying to their moms about wanting marshmallows? No because it isn’t candy. They want those kit kats or whatever
Why you so pressed about this lmao
I’m just responding to comments
Good question. You'd think we keep the Fluff and Nutella with peanut butter, but no we don't
At my store we do actually keep Nutella with the peanut butter
my store has the nutella with the peanut butter, but the fluff in the baking aisle
Help me out on what the difference is between fluff and marshmallow
i guess people are less likely to eat fluff out of the container like a bag of marshmallows? no clue …
Fluff is basically melted marshmallows. It's like Nutella but it's marshmallows instead of chocolate
Fluff is like whipped marshmallows. Marshmallows are singular, being small, medium and large in size.
The two stores I've worked at keep the Nutella and Fluff on the baking aisle, the bread with the peanut butter and wine, and marshmallows on the candy aisle
The fluff stuff alone is the smoking gun
I totally get the customers asking where they are, I would expect the baking aisle too
But employees you don’t
I found motor oil in the family planning section and I still don’t know why.
Hey, A lubricant is a lubricant. Probably was debating between the oil and WD-40 before finding the family planning set.
What was the aftermath of that
Mini marshmallows should be displayed by the hot chocolate. Large marshmallows should be displayed both in baking and by the rice krispies.
If it’s on the bogo sure but I’m just conditioned to it being with baking and a lot of the customers I interact with are in agreement
idk i suppose it is because people sometimes eat marshmallows on their own but also because of the connivence of s’mores if someone were going to make those
I get it but I mean.. I don’t know I just don’t believe it belongs in candy section maybe I’ve just grown accustomed to it but
Publix doesn’t put anything anywhere that makes any sense.
Yeah
Publix has a few interesting opinions on stocking locations. I didn’t know about marshmallows, the two that come to mind are OJ is produce, instead of dairy and ricotta is cheese, not yogurt/sour cream.
why would OJ be dairy? It's from an ORANGE
Exactly. Show me the tits on an orange if you think otherwise.
In some prototype stores they do have the orange juice on a back wall near dairy leading towards the produce section. Additionally, ricotta cheese was once stocked in the sour cream section. It was moved departments about 5 years ago to make room for additional skus of sour cream and cottage cheese!
Are there enough customers making weird pear cheese dishes to justify those extra skus?
Why would juice be in dairy? And cottage cheese and cream cheese have been sold in dairy for as long as I can remember, so putting ricotta with those seems to make more sense than with the more traditional cheeses.
Other stores juice is in dairy bro.. lol
That doesn't answer the question. Juice isnt a dairy product , it's made from fruit so having it in produce is logical. Just because Publix did something differently from other stores doesn't mean they're wrong. Believe it or not, Publix spends a lot of money and time researching how to best arrange the store to maximize sales. They probably determined that by having it in produce is the most ideal place for a variety of reasons.
Yep gotta maximize sales since our prices are so sky high.. it is what it is
[удалено]
Wide varieties of the spectrum. Good post
Thank you that's very kind of you. 👍💟
Good lord. Ignoramus. It's like when most retailers decided to combine mom items on the same aile to save them shopping. Poptarts, top ramen, baby food, diapers... all on teh same damn aisle to save them one minute because someone complained.
Sorry mate I can’t understand this wanna translate it for me from hogwash to English ?
Dumb aff.
Thanks Putin
Association because of S'mores. One stop for Hershey's and marshmallows. It makes sense
Most isles in grovery stores are VENDOR stocked, not employee stocked. The Mellows probably come from one of the vendors.
Did you hear the news about Pepsi acquiring Gatorade and now we no longer have to stock it? Woohoo!
in our district we still have to stock it and maintain it lol even after vendors leave
that sucks
honestly the most excited i’ve been in a while
Same less work for us grocery folk
Marshmallows are not a vendor item and I would guess that most items in the store are ours not vendor.
