The sweetness is sheer pleasure to feel and it leaves behind a splendid colour pattern on the tongue, which looks doubly alluring when reflected in a mirror. What get drowned in this moment of sweet pleasure are some plain, pricking realities. We might notice the partly open lid of the jar that welcomes flies and ants crawling in. We might not care for the fact that the candy is not even wrapped and even God cannot answer how old it is.
