North Korea has developed a candy it claims is good for children and will help them increase their height, weight and IQ, a pro-North Korea newspaper published in Japan said on Friday.

"Unlike sugar-packed and chocolate-covered sweets, the North is hoping that children in the reclusive state will enjoy munching on their nutritional candy made of seaweed, beans, carrots and sesame seeds, the newspaper said."

Well, you could see it as an attempt to limit the amount of currency leaving the country to purchase cocoa and sugar, both of which aren't mass produced in NK....but I think it's just a ploy to stockpile bonbons for Kim Jong Il. Wink
