It Was created in the midst of me finding a way to normalize and make healthy a disorder that afflicts many. Pica Snacks provide a healthy dose of iron and vitamins infused into corn starch, an alternative to the many unhealthy substitutions consumed by the Pica afflicted. I came to the realization that my passion and fever for entrepreneurship and being a pica afflicted consumer, made me understand that I, alone was not going through the frustrations associated with open consumption and accessibility of my cravings. In normalizing this platform I utilize many different concepts that are favorable and enjoyed by my many consumers.

Verdict
Rainbow Shops and Crunch Bae both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Crunch Bae's written reviews are positive against 73% of Rainbow Shops's. Crunch Bae also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). Rainbow Shops's advantage is ratings volume (42K vs 59). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
