I love them. I love all sorts of candies.
The candies I've bought in Estonia,France,Monaco, Singapore, Malaysia and Italy were pretty ok. Like normal american brand candies, like KitKat, M&M, Snickers and Mars. But here, in the womb of M&M's.. the candies just suck! Twizzlers are pretty okay usually. Most chocolates taste, well, just bad or they don't have a taste of any kind!! Making bad candies should be against the law! I've a pretty strong relationship with Sweet Factory though.. There I can at least decide what kind of bad candies I want, and how much. Usually I go with pineapple jelly beans, black licorice, sour gummi poppers, Haribo-like gummi frogs, chocolate buttons, tiny bananas and Good and Plenty's.

Not exactly the cheapest candies on the market..But not my fault that it's right next to my movie theatre!
So, the candies here suck. BUT. Not in F-land! That's maybe the ONLY thing that's (probably) permanently better there than it's here! Fazer forever. And it's not just that I haven't gotten any finnish candies for almost a year. Oh no, my dears.. I've gotten plenty of them! Thanks to the traditional mail. And Mom. And Xmas trip to F-land. So I had have chances to compare.
I used to eat candies in F-land quite a lot actually. Hah-hah, that explains a lot really.. Thank god, I had to ride my bicycle to school and back 5days a week! So about 13kms everyday. Oooh, how I miss my bicycle. I really hope no one has touched it..Like my stereos. Mom promised that I'll get them back though..But if something bad has happened to them while my sister had them, I'll just flip I think. Like when I let my lil sis and bro use my laptop. They had it for 40minutes and when I got it back, there was a HUUUUGE scratch on it!! But back to candies.
I sometimes had these crazy phases: like Fazer Lontoon rae-chocolate-phase, when I ate it EVERY FUCKING DAY! And not just one bite. More like one hundred bites. And Pätkis-phase. Or Sisu-phase. Or gummibear-phase. Or Lontoon rae-phase. Or salmiakki-phase. To honor those phases, I'm gonna post one pic of those phases. It dates back to 22/06/07. So over 2 years ago:

Here, I don't have anything like Pätkis-phase..or Fazer's Lontoon rae-chocolate phase! I can't have any candy phases here! There's no candy that is so good that I could eat it every day!!
Okay.. actually..There's ONE candy I could eat every single minute of my life though. And that's eyecandy! And here..is plenty of that! For those who are not here in San Diego. What do you see when you look out of window? Nothing special? You can hate me now: I see palmtrees, mountains(in finnish standards they are mountains ;)),the sun(or the moon/stars if I look out during the nighttime..)..and eyecandies. Yeah, shirtless guys prancing around with their skateboards. So I guess this makes the situation pretty even, or maybe 2-1 for the USA. Unfortunately I won't post any pictures of those candies. But believe me when I say: I don't need to go to Sweet Factory so often, because I have a window with a view straight into the Candy Shop..
"So, the candies here suck. BUT. Not in F-land!": I think most candies in Finland are quite ok, but I like the French Haribo ones more.
VastaaPoistaBut there is one thing I must admit: Fazer candies and chocolate rocks... especially those green and purple Muumit ones <3
