Lokoum, and why all my teeth just melted

One of my co-workers just returned from a trip to Greece (bitch). She brought in a box of something called Lokoum. They look like...um...hold on... I'm blanking out this morning. You know, those jellied candy thingys? The soft ones? Whatever, it doesn't matter. Point is I ate one and it's basically a drop of jam holding sugar together. My legs are still shaking.
