A land flowing with milk and gummy

The most interesting (quirky) thing that I observed in Germany was its Gummy Bears. We were greeted by little packages of gummy bears on our hotel beds… we were overwhelmed by the free packets handed out at every McDonald’s… but the strangest place that I saw them was in a little pharmacy. We were both a little under the weather… and so we went in to get some over the counter meds….. and there they were…. A rainbow mound of gummies piled on a large silver tray. As I stood there looking at people picking out their favorite colors I suddenly had a thought……… why would a pharmacy pass out gummies? I just stood there imagining the microscopic germs bouncing and clinging to the little gummies… placed there by a sick person seeking help from the pharmacist who had heard the siren’s call of the gummy tray…… and then gently infecting an unaware person whose only crime was having a sweet tooth…. Gummies gummies everywhere… that is one of the strongest memories that I’ll take away from Gummery… I mean GERMany…
