whenever we would leave a restaurant, my mom would grab a handful of these and deposit them safely in her purse. i remember the sweetness of the candy mixed with the metallic taste of a cut tongue.

my grandma always had a bowl of these, no matter how close to LNY it was or not. i remember sitting on her couch and eating an inappropriate amount of these candies. i think i hid the wrappers in her couch.
