When I knew I was coming to Greece, there was one sweet I knew I had to try. That looks pretty good. This is vanilla or submarine sweets. It's literally just sugar with flavorings! But as you can tell, it's special cooked down sugar and it's a childhood treat. This is from the Argoudelis Candy company. Seen these all over Greece, but I think this one's the best. Ice water. You stir it around, have you seen this? And it firms up so it's no longer like goopy. It's like taffy. If you were a kid that liked to eat frosting out of the tub, you'll love this. Is it good? Pretty good. That's goop. I think it's delicious. They're all different flavors. I find it so, so satisfying to eat. You should try it. It does give you a head rush. I'm not gonna lie, I will be hyper in two seconds.
