Of childhood snacks

I remember when I was a kid, the best time of the day was when it was time to go home. Not coz I could go back and do my homework (translation= play!!) but coz my mom would be waiting at the gates for me and we would go to the stalls outside the school gates and buy little snacks to eat in the car on our drive home.

I used to love the snack ajumma, she was so nice! She would always keep a packet of my fave snacks just in case they got sold out and would always compliment me on my hairstyles and shoes. Such a lovely snack ajumma! And the ice cream ajusshi with all his stickers! I used to collect them and show them off to all my classmates! And the candy ajusshi who used to sell those long candy canes with the rings attached to it. I used to collect those rings and pretend that I was a princess with lots of jewels (girls are just plain vain and jewel crazy)! Plus we would compare rings in class as well when the teachers weren't looking! Ahh, the memories!!

Anyways, I was at the neighbourhood grocery store getting teabags for my mom when I spotted a few of those childhood snacks that I used to devour! And knowing the greedy me, I bought a packet of each snack to indulge in later, haha! It's still sitting on my bed, looking all pretty. The packaging has not changed at all, and it still costs the same! But I bet that the taste would be really watered down, it'll probably taste like cardboard instead of what I remember..

Hmmm... Should I just admire the packaged snacks or should I eat and kill my memory of them?

I'll tell you tomorrow.
