People in our world like, sometimes love, candy and its delicious variety of textures, taste, creaminess, stickiness, and reasonably low cost. Most only know candy from what they purchase in the stores, and therefore have no idea of the complexity, or simplicity of how it is produced. KINGS & QUEENS
