Shit sugar, also known as bean-flavored sugar, is one of Sichuan's local products, which is made from soybeans, peanuts and maltose. The color of sugar is similar to that of dog shit, so it is called dog shit candy. This kind of candy package also comes with a particularly funny advertising word, and eating shit candy is lucky.
There are two theories about the origin of the name of shit candy. One theory is that the shape and color of this candy are very similar to dog shit, hence the name "dog shit candy".
Another way of saying it is that in difficult times, vendors pick goods and go to the countryside to exchange second-hand goods, and maltose is one of them. The poor people didn't even have the junk to coax their children with maltose, so they coaxed the children and said, that's shit candy, you can't eat it. More people talk about it, and this candy is really named shit candy.
The origin of shit candy
Speaking of the origin of shit candy, I have to mention the memory of Ya 'an generation-Ya 'an Food Factory. At that time, the special cakes made by Ya 'an Food Factory used to be a happy and sweet taste in many people's minds. Candy made of bean powder in the factory is deeply loved by the general public. After the restructuring of Ya 'an Food Factory, an employee named Li Lan was forced to become a laid-off worker.
After being laid off, she founded Jinlanlan Bakery and registered Jinlanlan trademark. She made an innovation on the basis of traditional pastry making, because Li Lan was once making bean-flavored candy.
Inadvertently, the syrup turned dark yellow, like dog shit, so it was named dog shit candy. After the introduction of Jinlanlan brand shit candy, it became a local specialty of Ya 'an with its unique taste. After publicity and promotion, it quickly became a well-known brand.
