Who can really say no to a sweet? We humans are just born to love sweets. That is why it is as hard as taking a peanut from an elephant to take sweets from a baby. A little sugar in our live really just makes it better. Sweets, chocolates, jellies, lollies yada yada. We would really love our mandrin orange to turn out sweet instead of sour. Sweetness really just gives you a light headed feeling, soon to float off to the skies, and a stupid smile appears on your face unknowingly. And yeah, thats the power of sweetness.

Then again, can sweetness really fill our stomachs? One has to be practical at times, most times actually. We eat to sustain our lives as a first priority, the taste just follows in second place. In times of war, if we had a lollypop in hand, we would definitely trade it in for some rice, something more staple and lasting. The truth is we can never live on a moment of sweetness, we definitely need a basic fundamental requirement.

I want ice cream pei roti. It is one of the better creations in the local food industry. Despite mothers often discouraging their kids from buying food from the uncle on the motorcycle, inside that unsightly metal box alongside the engine is actually heaven. It satisfies our need, the bread giving us the carbohydrates to sustain, yet the sugarlicious ice cream giving us the full joy of sweetness. In this way, we will be able to last, with sputters of sugary bliss here and there.

I would want to eat raspberry ripple on bread forever and forever. The thing is, will I be able to afford it?
