A Kid in a Candy Store
When I found out that London had a China Town, I was ecstatic. Since I was a little girl, I have visited various China Towns across the world, so I knew that London couldn’t be an exception. A group of us journeyed out that way, and quickly found out that it was only a block long, so we ate some homemade Chinese food then called it a day. As we were walking to the Tube Station, we happened upon a familiar site: M&M’s World! Oh you know, every chocolate lover’s delight.
As I walked in, I knew this experience would be different from my other M&M’s World experience. The second I stepped foot into that glorious chocolate store. My eyes witnessed the most playful and most beautiful London Double Decker Bus. It must have been 10 feet long, and featured digital screens with areas that you must see in the store. After seeing that adorable Double Decker Bus, came the endless gifts and trinkets that M&M’s had to offer. From coffee mugs, shirts, candy and blankets, the store exploded with different things to look at.
The thing about the M&M’s store is that it offers so many things outside of the beloved candy (Although one can find multiple walls of various M&M’s). They have life size figurines of the M&M’s, and at this specific location they’re London themed! They even feature the Red M&M as Guard of the Buckingham Palace. At another part of the store, they had a “What’s your Colour?” reader, where you stand in front of a camera and get scanned. It was hilarious seeing how everyone either matched perfectly with their color and description, or how the scan was completely off.
But out of the entire store, my favorite part about it was the random photo booth placed on the second floor. I was crossing Ms. Green’s section, when I looked left and saw two photo booths in the corner. I quickly ran to get everyone and insisted that we all take a picture. Well I suppose my eyes deceived me, because when everyone came to check it out. We came to the realization that not all six of us would fit, so we decided to break up and take mini pictures together…all in one cost. We were given four poses per photo booth strip. As one group took a picture, another quickly followed, we jumped in and out so fast we must have looked like little popcorns popping in a microwave. It’s funny to think that out of all the sweet treats in that store. The sweetest memory made was attempting to take a photo of six people in one teeny tiny photo booth, not even the chocolate M&M’s could beat those sweet memories. It was The Impossible Made Possible.
Sincerely,
A Chocolate Lover
