Two years ago I posted about Co-Ops in Kuwait stopping Kinder Surprise and switching to Kinder Joy. The reasons weren’t clear but Kinder Surprise does pose public healthy risks since a kid may unknowingly choke on the object. I was surprised to find it in Qurtoba C0-Op for a hefty 295 fils. The stock they’re bringing is from Belgium, so it won’t be lasting long.

This isn’t the first time I’ve noticed a local brand making their own chocolate, the first time was I when spotted Sultan Center having their own chocolate bars, amongst a lot of other things. I didn’t like Sultan Center’s that much, Mr.Baker definitely tastes better. They come in two flavours, light milk chocolate and light crispy chocolate, costs 950 fils each.

I guess it’s that time of the year where I get a lot of candy. I’m not going to have 6 blog posts spamming the home page, rather I would like to thank everyone who sent gifts here. Some of it was healthy sweets, some of it was pure chocolate and some of it was a bundle of old traditional items people used to use (gifts arranged by date).

Thank you Wataniya Telecom for nicely decorated هيل و زعفران sweets. You can check Wataniya’s Ramadan application on Android which has a bundle of features like masjed locator, recipes and imsakeya list.[Link]

Thank you Diwaan for the bundle of old items, I didn’t know pomegranate soap even existed but I later found out it doesn’t actually contain pomegranate but is just named that way. Diwaan’s Expo is live and you can visit them today, for more information you can visit their website.

Thank you Viva Telecom for the shiny gift, you get full points for decoration. You can check their Layaly Ramadan Offer here which is basically charging you 100 fils for every 30 minutes. Offer only valid from 12a.m to 8a.m.

Thank you Q8Up2Date, for those that aren’t familiar with Q8Up2Date they’re an online shopping store offering clothing for men, woman and kids. I found out they have a collection of football jerseys for most teams.

Thank you HisHersQ8, one of the few blogs out there that truly speaks their mind. I liked how the gift was wrapped, looked like a kids curly hair except dotted.

Thank you Diet Center, probably the only healthy gift I’ve received containing apples, dried fruits and choco-balls (presumably low-fat). Diet Center offers nutritional consultation as well as catering for those that want to offer healthy food in their ceremony.

A new sweets store has opened recently in Galleria 2000 mall. The staff member explained how they’re bringing all the types of traditional sweets from all over the world so that expats can enjoy desserts from their country in Kuwait. I only took photos of some of the sweets, they have a pretty large variety. I guess cupcake stores are going big now.

It is hard to figure out how a mother was under the impression Nutella was healthy for her kid but she did file a lawsuit after she found out the truth nonetheless. She argued this Nutella commercial made her think Nutella is a great healthy breakfast for everyone. What’s even more shocking is the fact that the mother won the lawsuit with a $3 million settlement.

I’m sure many of you have noticed Subway has been out of all types of chocolate cookies for well over a month now. Early Bird are also out of chocolate pancakes and I have been told that Milk has been having issues with chocolate pancake orders. I don’t know if they all share the same chocolate supplier but I hope everything goes back to normal soon.

Update: Looks like Subway’s chocolate chip cookies are back.
