There was a tuck shop at scout camp. It was kind of humorous, looking back. I mean we'd be out of civilization at camp for a day and buying hordes of candy with a crapload of pocket money designed for two weeks. Basically it was the camp candy store. And stuff to write letters, postcards, toys like tops and slingshots or whatever. But mostly lardbutts hogging on pounds of candy.

Pretty funny idea. They might develop a taste for things. An alien candy to them might be those banana marshmallow things. And the strawberry marshmallow things. If they are available anywhere here in Korea because mailing them would be expensive, I guess. Maybe they'd even develop, over time, a taste for black licorice. Which Korean kids actively spit out complaining it's 'hot'.

Good way to talk to kids if you're bored of office work that's for sure. Get it sanctioned and get out of the 'appearing to be doing office work' thing.

what to stock?

Your plan for Carrepoo ois good, although I'd wager you can find the same stuff and more at Costco. They have TONS of candy: Tootsie Rolls and Gummi / Jelly whatever goes over well, as well as chocolate they haven't seen yet. In fact, more foreign chocolate is a fantastic idea: teach the new generation what good chocolate should taste like. Costco sells bags of minatures of several brands of chocolate; you could sell like 3 for 200 won or something. Be weary of petty theft.
