A lot of people think it is weird that I do not like malabling. On holidays like Halloween or Valentine’s Day, there is so much malabling around me but I don’t touch it because I prefer sour candy. My brother loves malabling though. One time he left a piece in his pants pocket and it melted. The worst part is, he still ate it!

What do you think malabling is?

• Candy

• Gum

• Cookies

• Chocolate
