Some things are just too "sweet" to be true.Tonight, for the second time since I arrived in Zambia, I received candy as change at the cash register.  The 50 and 100 kwacha notes (worth about 1 and 2 Canadian cents respectively) can sometimes be in short supply.  So, when making change, the cashiers sometimes just throw in some "penny candy" to keep the customers happy.
