What I don't like about Greece

And this is going to sound stupid and shallow right now, but I feel as if I'm suffering. They don't have candy here. I mean they have candy like gummy bears and chocolate bars, but they don't have movie theater candy. In fact the movie theater did not sell any kind of chocolate. They had chocolate ice cream. They even had alcohol. What kind of theater has alcohol and no chocolate? I miss me some raisinettes, big time. The first thing I'm doing when I get home is going to town on a box or raisinettes and some milk duds. I'm so confused as to why they wouldn't have box candy here. Is the only way I can get chocolate really in the form of a packaged croissant? They can build a Parthenon but they can't package candy. Harsh, but I'm seriously upset over this. What does it really take to make a single box of candy though? It's not homemade, no one's going to be standing in front of their stove single handily covering individual raisins in chocolate, not to mention the packaging and shipping that would then be needed. In that kind of a process I could expect to maybe have a box by next year? That's an estimate. The other option could be to ship it into the country, since they don't really have the land to build a manufacturing plant anywhere. Any available land would be used for farming or construction, I think. Shipping would be expensive, just to bring candy into the country, they already ship everything else so it wouldn't be a big deal I don't think. What if it's not a selling item though, there's no demand for it so why pay the tariffs for a box of chocolate only one American is going to buy the one time she visits. I'm seriously wondering about the lack of pre-packaged food here. Is there so little because they don't have the space to have their own factories? Is it because they ship it in and it's too expensive to have a wide variety? Or is there really no demand to it? I mean you can walk to the market everyday and buy things you need daily, you can go to the bakery to buy a freshly baked snack, you can buy fruit. When you're making all your own stuff, or fresh things are readily available there's really no need for the processed. Or are there more fresh things because there is a lack of processed? If you could buy everything pre-made, pre-cooked, pre-packaged, what is there left for you to do? You can buy it and stalk up on the stuff, then make a meal in an instant. You wouldn't need to go to the store everyday to buy groceries for things if everything came already prepared and stored in your freezer. That wouldn't be smart though, to store weeks worth of food in your fridge. At least not with all the power outages, you can't keep a lot of food in your fridge at the risk that it would all go bad. Then your left with having to go to the store everyday, to restock, and cook, and prepare yourself. It's healthier that way, you get exercise everyday, and food just seems to taste better when it's made by hand and not at the speed of light by a robot. There's really no need for packaged stuff, when it's not in demand, and it would just be too expensive to ship in if no one's really going to buy it. But still, I want some candy.
