* candy for change
Posted on April 23rd, 2009 by Alex. Filed under India.
It seems there is a shortage of coins in India. If the change is 1 or 2 Rupees, you often will get a candy instead of the money. No matter if you like it or not, the shopkeeper basically sells the sweet to you instead of giving you the change. After a refreshing lime juice, the best thing to chew on is a rubber-like chocolate/coffee candy in 35°C midday temperature gluing your teeth together. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…
It would be interesting to see, if the shopkeeper accepts it as a payment once you collected enough candies.

haha!! you bet he won’t, also watch out they often expect you to shell out more than the MRP ( which btw is an offence legally)
cheers
