Original idea is from bemmu (candyjapan.com), but we are targeting different market and different goals. This is the mvp version, if enough interest, we are thinking of making it like a "pandora for snacks".
Feedbacks and inputs are very much appreciated
One suggestion: change the look of your site. Add pictures of candies. Make my eyes burn from the hot neon colors. Turn up the fun dial on the design!
Graze.com has been doing a recommendation-engine driven snack delivery service for several years now (they raised a $2.5m VC round from Octopus and DFJ) and are making revenues in the high millions.
Graze have a pretty proven business model by this stage, but given they only operate in the UK there's obviously the potential for someone to clone their business in other countries.
It surprises me how many people try to build an MVP before looking at the existing competitors :) Graze.com has been doing a recommendation-engine driven snack delivery service for several years now (they raised a $2.5m VC round from Octopus and DFJ) and are making revenues in the high millions.

This seems to be more directed to people who like sweets and snacks, while graze.com is centered around heath food.

Graze.com aren't really competition to this - same idea, different niche. This seems to be more directed to people who like sweets and snacks, while graze.com is centered around heath food.
It will be helpful if you specify what the candies are made of. I can imagine people with specific tastes, vegetarians, people with allergies, etc will be interested in knowing such details.
I expected to see a white background with candy pouring in from the sides and reds and yellows.

I think even if somebody is doing pandora for snacks, the market is still open for competition. I believe there are a lot of niches that can be done. Also MVP is just testing the initial concept of candy subscriptions. I will see if people like it, and it can grow before adding additional features.

I think this fellow is on to something. I can't imagine walking into a candy store and seeing bare counters and plain walls. I expected to see a white background with candy pouring in from the sides and reds and yellows.
But that is a good input, I will see if I can alter the layout to put more candies picture. We are just starting, so we don't have that many pictures yet, but as we grow, I am sure I will put more pictures based on the candies that we sent.
