Adults and children, sad and happy, thin and fat - almost everyone, with few exceptions, loves sweets... Some people love ice cream, some people love cotton candy, and some people can't live a day without a slice of chocolate or just a small lollipop. Today the author will tell you all about sweets. You will read that the first treat in Europe was honey, which was the beginning of the "sweet history". Sugar arrived in Europe only in the IV century BC with Alexander the Great after his campaign in India. You will learn that the Spaniard Enrique Bernata invented "chupa-chups", which in Spanish means just "sucker", and the author of the design of the first wrapper was the legendary Salvador Dali; that Georg Landrin, aka Fyodor Gavrilov, named his candies "Montpensier" in honor of the French duchess sung in Dumas' novels; that the production of domestic candies "Squirrel" and "Bear in the North" did not stop even during the siege of Leningrad, and many, many more "sweet" information.
