Karl’s Suitcase Candy
I wanted to fill my suitcase with candy so that when it was on display, everyone could take my candy and taste it.
It was 9pm when I got this idea and I couldn't wait to find a candy store on google maps that was still open, it was located in Oxford Circus, it was called "American Candy", as it was the only store open and I was in a hurry to I had no other choice but to spend £50 on a little candy.
But I later learned that "American Candy" is actually a money laundering store, where a lot of illegal income from unknown sources is made legal. No one really buys anything here, and I became an unexpected customer.
Inspired by this, I also made a fake company and named my candy "Karl's Suitcase Candy" and hand-wrote the wrappers of these candies. But the candy inside was actually the candy bought in that store.
Everyone can take it away and taste it.
