Sweet sugar-coated drops for chewing, sucking or chewing are a popular snack during trips, visits to the cinema or evenings in front of the computer or TV. Unlike other sweets, they do not crumble and do not get hands dirty, nevertheless, their handy form facilitates eating them in excess as we quickly stop controlling how many handfuls of small candies go into our mouths. An additional risk posed by sweets in the shape of small, colored pastilles is the fact that several-year-old children looking for sweets at home may mistake them for medicines that sometimes visually resemble a fruit candy.
