Javvu Mittaii - Membranous Candy - ஜவ்வு மிட்டாய்

When I went to Marina Beach, I found something surprised. A man (a Hindi guy speaking Tamil) was selling Javvu Mittaii - Membranous Candy (elastic / stretchy candy)- ஜவ்வு மிட்டாய். I immediately called him with excitement and asked for the price. A watch on hand was 20Rs and a star on stick was 30Rs. We asked for a hand watch made of this candy. The taste was excellent. We used to buy such candies during our child hood days which we were missing now a days. It was a cherishing moment.
