Candy is sweeter in Kenya

And so are the soft drinks.  Someone from the site goes grocery shopping one or twice a week in Naivasha.  It is probably a 30 minute ride.  I have no idea of the distance.  There you can buy Kit Kat bars, pretty much the only American brand candy bar.  April asked me the other day if I noticed that they were sweeter than in the US. I just thought they tasted so good because it was "a taste of home."  Actually, I am told, there is a difference.  The candy and soft drinks here are made with only sugar, not corn syrup.  (Also I am told that US candy and soft drink manufacturers use corn syrup because the US government subsidizes the corn growers.)  Now this is strictly heresay information, but when I satisfy my cravings with a CocaCola or Kit Kat Bar, they certainly are sweet.  (Diet Coke? Who ever heard of that? No one here needs it.)  I just thought I should talk about the important things first.
