Welcome to Season 3, Episode 44! A lot of people have a sweet tooth. That’s why candy is so popular across the world. Candies don’t just satisfy a sweet fix… they can be a childhood memory or a cultural symbol. In today’s episode we talk about the history of iconic Asian Candy. First we share information on sweeteners in food with honey and refined sugar, but then we focus on White Rabbit Candy and Kopiko Coffee Candy. What are they? How did they get popular? All this and more! In our recurring segment we talk about Our Flag Means Death, Season 2, and we share what we liked about it. Is there a candy you want us to talk about? Send us an email!
