    Those fucking candy shops in London. You know the ones. Also, I used to manage a car wash/detail shop in Florida, and Breaking Bad nailed it.

      I’m sorry, I’m an ignorant American who’s never been across the pond. I’m also confused by further comments calling these shops “American.”

      Could anyone explain?

      American Candy shops in Denmark too. It’s hilarious. I still go to them when I visit my bestie though haha. Love those mixed bags.

        There was a small one that recently rebranded into a doughnut shop. If it was a front at some point, its popular enough to be legit now.

          Yea, we had one out here in the SW near me but it didn’t last and by far wasn’t the shadiest shop in that area though lmao. I went there for Gatorade and some nostalgia treats. They didn’t have a lot of scoop bins though and it was a bit out of the way.

          For some reason (probably just from good memories), the sweets with the isles of scoops are distinctively a Scandinavian thing to my brain.

      If you used to manage, weren’t you directly involved in the layering of dirty money?
