The candy man staked out in front of my office today at lunch. Naturally, he and his cart captured my attention with all its colorful, sugary goodness. So many kinds of gummy candy! Gummy bears, gummy lychee, gummy Coke bottles, gummy worms, sour gummies…. Then, I noticed these!

Gummy penguins! My sister introduced me to these adorable gummy candy last year when she found them at some candy store in the middle of nowhere. As an added bonus, they were peach-flavored, my favorite! These ones are blueberry, though, and a bit pricey at 25 kuai per 500 grams (about $3.94 a pound). I snatched some up right away, spending my last 10 kuai before I realized I could’ve probably bargained a little. Maybe. It wasn’t much, and I wish I could have bought more! The candy man said he only rarely comes to my office — which is true. I’ve only seen candy being sold during lunch maybe once or twice. Now I can only hope our paths will meet again one day :(

Another pic after the jump!

Can you tell which is peach and which is blueberry?
