Candy is EVERYWHERE here. Not just candy bars or prepackaged stuff, but the entire rows of bins of candy with their respective shovels- in the grocery stores, in tobacco stores, in newspaper stands, in convenience stores, and there are even a plethera of stores entirely devoted to candy!
Beyond that, ice cream is terribly popular. There's ice cream in most fast food places- and I don't mean the little soft serve machine we are used to seeing in McDonalds, I mean entire baskin-robbin style set ups with many very wonderful flavors (including champagne truffle). There are a ton of different ice cream brands and flavors in the super markets, as well. I tried Violet flavored ice cream. It, unsurprisingly, tasted like flowers.
Desserts take on an entirely different meaning here, as well. Any cafe you step into will have a wide variety of hand-made desserts from that morning.
Yum.
