Oddity #10

There are so many brands of candy here that are fakes of good brands in the U.S. For example XLY is a candy meant to be like MandM's. It has a similar packaging, colors, just the candy isn't the same. Same thing with Twimax... same lettering, color of package as Twix. Even a similar name... and yet, kind of gross. There are more brands of terrible "Twix-style" candy here than I ever knew existed.

Ah Colleen! I have received much mirth from these last several posts! :) It is great to see pictures, too. I am praying for you, the school and all the work to do to get it in workable condition. Love and hugs, Deborah

When I was in France, years ago, the locally made candy was not very good. The British candy was just a bit better - the chocolate anyway. ec
