Late this afternoon, purely by accident, we discovered a real-life, ye olde fashioned English sweetshop in a nearby village.
It's got the whole wall of sweets in jars, with lots to chose from, and there are old fashioned scales that measure by the ounce. And it smells like sugar and peppermint. And it's awesome! And whatever you pick gets measured into pretty little pink and white candy-striped paper bags. Squee!
While we were there--making observations purely for research purposes and definitely not because we're secretly five-year-olds whenever we encounter a wall of sweeties--a couple of kids came in after making an epic mission from two streets down on their bikes.
It was so much fun to see how solemn they were in making sure they were spending their pocket money for maximum value. We made sure we kept our expressions just as solemn when we agreed with them that they were making a sound financial investment.
The sweeties you see on the scales are just a few we had to take away... for "research" purposes obviously. Not for eating in one go. Because I would totally not be the kind of person who would accidentally disappear an entire bag of licorice bullets in the space of 15 minutes without realising it. Not at all. Nope. Not me.
