I agree sometimes the memories of those wonderful sweets are even stronger and more meaningful than the experience. I experienced a sugar rush reading this blog post.

I grew up eating dubbel zout drops, my grandma would give me in church. I wouldn't get it from my mom because she didn't like them. It is an acquired taste, either you love it or hate it(sorta like vegemite). In west Michigan there is a large Dutch community that has drops everywhere very affordable. Those cookies look the best! I want to grab one right now! I love how food brings back such memories of where we were and who we were with. I grew up eating dubbel zout drops, my grandma would give me in church.

Lived in the Bay and totally missed out on that place...I'll have to stop in on my last visit. Certainly, I could fit penis-shaped macaroons into one of my pieces?? I'm not big on certain foods so much anymore (like Eggo Waffles, hot dogs and my Southern college's banana pudding), but they do conjure up such memories. Like music and smells as well, our senses do so much to remind us of things past. LOVE! Lived in the Bay and totally missed out on that place…I’ll have to stop in on my last visit.

Moderation is good - food really does evoke memories - good and bad. I am with you about Haribo - they are the best there is! That napoleon is calling my name. Drooling.
