I wanted sweets from the old days of big glass jars in the corner shop, so I bought aniseed balls and cola cubes online, because they are no where in my sleepy town.
I only briefly glanced at the weights and assumed they were about right, and in my giddy, pre sugared state I glossed over the price.
Imagine my surprise when I got a kilo of each.
I have eaten so many aniseed balls everything tastes like medicine, which I also quite like.
I’ve lived in Germany for five years. I’m perfectly fine with metric for distance and mass, but Celsius never clicks. Luckily, it’s easy mental math, but I have to do the math every time if I want to be more accurate than +/-5.
