Candy Rivers Tell: The Sweet Waterways of Whimsy

Candy River

Have you ever strolled along a candy river? Most folks think it's a joke, a story kids spin to避开 (that's 'avoid' in Mandarin!). But trust me, walking next to a river of chocolate syrup, with gummy bears floating alongside; that's livin', my friend.

So, do you want to know if fish in peppermint streams taste like candy canes? There's a footnote somewhere in the ancient script that talks about this1!

At the candy rivers try not to slip on the jellybean rocks, or you'll end up knee-deep in molasses. Honestly, it can get a bit stickier than Aunt Ruth's famous pie, so watch your step. It’s pretty jam-packed down there.
