See how to identify real and fake candy
If you are going to buy sweets at the shop then do not pack sweets just to see the color. First of all identify whether the sweet is real or fake. If the candy looks too colorful, don't take it. Try it with your hand, if the color reaches your hand then do not buy it. Take the candy in your hand and rub it a little, if it becomes sticky then do not buy it. Smell the candy, if it looks old don't buy it. If the work on the candy comes off when you remove it, then the silver work is not genuine. You can also check the quality of the candy by smelling it. If you're buying sweets, take a sample and place it in a bowl of hot water. Now add a few drops of iodine to it. If the color of the candy changes then understand that the candy is fake.
