Reeses Pieces Peanut Butter Cups

Volunteers love American candy. 

Ask a Burkina PCV to find M&Ms and he'll name the very aisle in the ex-pat supermarket that supplies them. If they are out of stock? He can probably also give a short list of American friends who stock up on sweets or at least tend to receive bountiful packages...*

So, when Reeses Pieces Peanut Butter Cups suddenly hit the Burkina Faso market, word got out - fast. It was sometime in October or November that these delectable turned out in gas stations and other stocked-up convenience shops. For these special imported goods one can expect to pay anywhere between two to six dollars. (We make $8 a day, just as a reference point, which many of us will happily spend on some fancy chocolate.) Naturally I wanted in on the sweet, nutty action... I can't believe it! how much do they cost? I said to my friend. 100 cfa!

That's about 20 cents

Funny how just before 31 million pounds of peanut butter and paste gets recalled, the  Burkinabé get the privilege of tasting their first Reeses Peanut Butter Cup.



* I'll prove it - Caleb, Liz, Me, Mac... see!?

Howdy this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
