An Ode to the Mexican Mall Candy Store | Eater

"A bustling Toluca mercado stall that stopped the author in his tracks with a gleaming pyramid of dark green, meaty calabaza en tacha dripping with syrup; it epitomizes the chuchería experience with chrome racks overflowing with Lucas lollipops, Pelón Pelo Rico push-up candies, deli containers of caramel, Paleta Payaso chocolate-covered marshmallow pops, Duvalín pudding, and a parade of sour candies, spicy chips, and ruby-red chamoy bottles — a sensory, nostalgic gateway to regional Mexican sweets that reclaimed childhood memories in a single sugary bite." - Bill Esparza
