As a person from a tropical country, I was puzzled with all those salty "candy" sold in the west. I ate one and thought who the hell would eat this horrible salty candy on purpose? So those are actually good for the throat on freezing climate?
- asiachick 6y agoWhat does being from a tropical country have to do with it? I know plenty of tropical country that like salt lassi to which I had the same reaction (who would drink this horrible thing on purpose). But they do. It's a staple.
- neurostimulant 6y agoThere might be some little bit salty and spicy drinks, but certainly there is no strong salty candies from where I come from. GP mentioned it might be beneficial in colder climate, which is probably why the culture around here never develops that kind of candies because there is no real need for it. Instead, we have no shortage of sour and spicy traditional candies and snack though.
- andyroid 6y agoFrom a Nordic country myself and have never experienced that effect, nor heard of anyone who would eat it for that. We just like it for the taste. Getting a little more cautious from reading all the comments here though!
