    Hello,

    can you remember the days of your childhood, when you thought about what to do with the 50 Pfenning (or Cents ;-)) you just obtained from your grand pa? You went to a kiosk and bought two green drops, two yellow and three red drops, five white mice and some other stuff. You got a huge paper bag of sweets for your money. Nowadays there exist only a few shops that are happy to sell you a single white mouse and you will be a little bit disappointed of you lock in your paper bag worth of 50 Pfenning of sweets.

    Regards
    Gyro

    There used to be a sweet shop about a mile from my house that was run by a elderly couple that sold penny candies. My friends and I would pool our monies and go get those little red fish or licorice for a penny each, or maybe some small chocolates I think were about a nickle.

    That is very similar to the store I was talking about only a little bigger. It sucks its closing. You should go drop 50 bucks there before it closes, properly stored candies will last for years. :peppermintstick:

    Hello,

    one time I was into these yellow gums that were shaped like french fries and tasted sourish like hell ;). Salty licorice was another classic.


    That shop looks huuuge.

    Hello,

    I not exactly sure, but I think it's originated from the scandinavian countries. It's a strong licorice (with lots of ammonium chloride?) that tastes salty. Some sorts have only a salty crust.

    Hello,

    imagine you hide yourself behind the candy canes and they lock you in over night.
