In Minsk, "childhood candies" were found. But their appearance is deceiving
In one of the capital's stores specializing in foreign sweets and snacks, candies were found that many associate with childhood. Minsk resident Ilona drew attention to them on Threads, writes Blizko.by.
The girl saw "Kislіchka" (Sour Drop), "Shypuchka" (Fizzy Drop), and "Malochnaya Kroplia" (Milk Drop) on the shelves of the Crispy store, which were sold in almost every store in the 2000s. However, these candies are now imported from Iran and cost 30-40 kopecks for 6 grams.
Despite the nostalgic memories evoked by the appearance of the wrapper alone, many users did not recommend buying this "piece of childhood":
"Better not to waste your money. At least, Shypuchka is very far from the original, Kislіchka is still more or less acceptable."
"Terrible candies, definitely not the same ones."
"A cheap fake."
Tasters noted that the fizzy powder in "Shypuchka" did not fizz on the tongue, which was what the candy was loved for. "Malochnaya Kroplia" turned out to be excessively cloyingly sweet. And only "Kislіchka" was close to its "original source".
The original candies were produced by the famous Ukrainian confectionery factory Roshen, owned by former President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko. But in 2022, for obvious reasons, supplies of any Ukrainian goods to Belarus stopped.
