Ok so there is this type of old candy that my Grandmother loved. Old fashioned Vanilla cream drops.
They were this creamy vanilla filling coated in a chocolate shell.
And well... she um... only could remember them by their nick name...
WHICH I WILL NOT REPEAT!
But let’s just say it is a racist term for black people and than the word “Toes”.
And I always thought she was racist due to this. But truth was she wasn’t she loved all just she grew up in a time where to say that was normal and she had a hard time remembering the real name of the candy so she just said the nick name.
But I found out years later a lot of people in the south called those that. So it wasn’t like she came up with it her self.
So here's a funny syncronicity thing that just happened...
I've signed up for a Snack Crate subscription. Every month, they send you a box of snacks from a different country. For the introductory offer, I could choose one of three locations or random.
I chose random aaand I got Germany! Yum.
The Ritter Sport bar was kinda the crown jewel of the box, but there is sooo much more yummyness in there. Like real, genuine Haribo.
