Ummm, yeah….but coffee and candy are prime bear attractants (along with toothpaste, deodorant, garlic-infused crosses for fighting off vampires, and various other stuff considered essential under other circumstances). This means if camping you will want to think REALLY carefully about everything odiferous—-where you’re keeping it, whether you or your clothes will smell like it while sleeping in your flimsy little tent, etc.
It’s not rocket science, but it’s not to be taken casually either. And just in case it’s not clear, in all my time camping in grizzly country I’ve continued to drink coffee, eat candy, and brush my teeth. I did once have to decline to accept a 45 lb king salmon I was offered by someone who picked me up hitchhiking on the McCarthy Road, but that’s another story.
