My favourite candy

When I was a child, I swam in a club called CNP (Club Natació Poblenou).

I did it with my friends and although we competed, we enjoy it. 

The best part of the swimimg practice was the ending. My mum and Mariona's 

mum always waited for us in the bar in front of the swimmingpool. When we arrived to them, we praied for 50 cents. Now  it seems really stupid to pray for just 50 cents, but it those times, for us they were vital. We needed them to buy our favourite candy. 

Once we obtained the 50 cents we when running to the tobacconist that was also a candy shop. There, we bougth our candy. It had a name, Megatorcida, but we never called it for its name, we ordered it as the pink strip. It was a pink strip that inside has a white strip. It was more that delicious. It was like our reward for the effor we did in the swimmingpool. This became like a tradition for us but one year, noone knows why, the tabacconist close so, there was a time when we didn't eat pinks strips :( 

But, thanks God, we found them again in another candy shop, and the tradition started again. 

Now a days, neither Mariona or me swim but we still eat this candy. Not every day or every week just in special ocations or when we want to rememorate good times.
