Sweet!

Welcome to our candy shop! What flavor do you like? Strawberry, grape, banana, apple or peach? Did you know that color, even more than taste, is the most essential part of candy? We serve national colors, political colors, corporate, military and body colors. Sugar causes the brain to release dopamine. Dopamine is a substance that gives you a feeling of happiness. Soon the need for even more sugar arises. The annual world consumption of sugar is almost 120 million tons and its production is linked to a history of both imperialist politics, commercial profits and exploitation, military conflict and racism.
