Candylicious!

The weekend necessitated another trip to Dubai Mall (well, two trips really if you count Thursday night as the weekend - which I guess I do, since once school finishes for the week, the weekend begins). But, I digress. Part of the purpose for this trip was to visit Candylicious - the newly opened 'largest candy store in the world'.
Just in case I haven't emphasised it enough yet, Dubai is obsessed with having the biggest, the brightest, the best of whatever they can. They dream of a day when the Guiness Book of World Records is filled nothing but with Dubai!

It's website tells me that Candylicious is 10,000 square feet. When you are in there if doesn't seem all that big. It's big for a lolly store I guess. My favourite thing about it though is that all the workers have been brainwashed with the store's motto: Eat Happy! I must have heard a least 5 different workers say 'Eat Happy!' in the short time we were in there for. Maybe they get commision everytime they say it.
In the end the only purchase I made was some Milk Duds (which made me think of Tanyth), making the trip well worth the effort .....until I found them in our local supermarket a few days later....oh well!
