The original sugar high



This is freshly peeled and sliced sugarcane ($0.20 a bag!).  For those of you who have never tried it - you chew on the slices,  sucking out all the sugary goodness, then you spit out the wood-like fibres.  A while ago I was on the bus and I saw a little girl (she couldn't have been older than four) sitting on her sleeping mother's lap.  She was chewing on these things and carefully arranging the chewed up husks along the top of the (oblivious) bus driver's headrest.  Gross, cute and funny, all at the same time.
