Kuching! Sweet Sweet Mart

Does Sweet Factory still exist? I always felt like the luckiest kid when my parents would let me fill a plastic bag with shark gummies, jaw breakers, and Jelly Bellies. I was so excited to discover, on the very bottom level of a mall in Malaysia, this Sweet Factory-ish store called Sweet Sweet Mart.

 Not only did they have a wide selection of wrapped candy, they also had dried fruit,

nuts and chips, 

and wafers and cookies.

Hong had a difficult time choosing. 

 Mmmmm such a fun reminder of childhood!

Unique Treats- Happy Pop

My students like to surprise me with interesting snacks. Here's one called "Happy Pop".

Colorful packaging, iffy ingredients, all signs point to 'excellent Asian treat'.

 

Inside the package was a lumpy lolly-pop and a blue plastic top.

 

 First impression.

 What ARE you? The best way I can describe it is a mix between a Tootsie Roll and a Sugar Daddy.

 

But check out that spinning top action!

BAM! Happy pop indeed!
