This is nineteen dollars worth of candy in Norway.
Stop your screaming my American readers and consider this. Norwegian children receive free dental care through the age of eighteen. So it's like a sugar tax. Children with healthy teeth grow into adults with healthy teeth. Ask any dentist and they will tell you, the health of your teeth affects your overall health. As in gum disease,diabetes,inflammation,dementia, and rhuematoid arthritis to name a few.
So I will gladly pay the sugar tax. OK, I did scream (quietly I hope) at the store. But I still bought the candy because .....it's HALLOWEEN!
