I've been going to the funky Chinese store down the street to get some
hard candies that I can't find anywhere else. The guava candy has a
unique intense flavor and I've also been getting the coconut and ginger
flavor candies too. The candy is used to fill a bowl in the waiting area
of my office. As far as I know, it ain't killed anybody yet but I will
be on the lookout for anything of that nature happening.
