As you've seen and heard here before, Chileans love their sweets. Things that aren't sweetened in the states will be sugared with something here, and things that already have enough sugar can be expected to have more than their share. It's a totally normal thing to buy a liter of fruit juice from the store....only to go home and use it as juice concentrate for the next week. I took this photo to illustrate how much I feel like this surrounds me, how inescapable it is, and how overwhelming it can feel from time to time. (I know, I know...this coming from the ice cream man. I don't even eat that very often any more!) I'm sure that you can find this product in the states, and as a non-coffee drinker, I may be putting up a bad example...but in the moment...this just illustrated how I feel. Perfectly. I was brought a tea while waiting for a student at IBM and the tea was served with two of these sugar packets. I used about half of one and slipped this guy into my pocket for further use!
