Candy! Falling from the sky!
It's the craziest thing... I haven't thought about this for many, many, many years...
I have these memories from my childhood when I went downtown with my family to some festival of some sort. This was an annual thing. Then at a certain time, at a certain place, a small airplane (or was it a helicopter??) would throw out candy and then at the ground people would gather it together. 'Every man for himself', sort of thing.
This annual event then stopped and I don't know when. Suddenly the memories of this stop. I was crap at picking up the candy. My brother was fairly apt at it and he would (reluctantly :-)) give me some of his.
I wonder why they suddenly thought it was a bad idea to throw candy out of airplanes and have grown-ups and kids alike battle it out on the ground?
I think it's a kick-ass idea!
I remember whining when I maybe got but just one caramel out of the whole ordeal, but hey, it teaches kids that you don't alway get what you want. Even if it is right next to you. And you are being showered with it.

Þetta var nú æðsti draumur Egils Skallagrímssonar, að dreifa peningunum og láta fólk slást um þá.
En ætli það sé ekki búið að banna þetta þar sem einhver hefur fengið karamellu (p.s. ekki skíra dóttur þína Kara, þú veist hvað hún fer að vinna við) í hausinn.
Fyndið... Ég flutti fyrirlestur um Herra Skallagrímsson í einum tímanum hérna. Minntist einmitt á þetta þar, þetta þarna með gullið, ekki sælgætið. Magnað.
