Who knew such a glorious place could exist? Perhaps maybe in Rohl Dahl books, but never in real life, let alone in Hendra. I don't know much about Hendra, but I'm pretty sure Tom's Confectionery Warehouse would have to be the best thing it has to offer.
Who is Tom you say? Tom is a man with a dream. A dream to provide the world with an endless supply of sugar, from 8am to 9pm everyday. Woken up at 8 with a taste for sherbet? Got a habit for doing lines of licorice? It happens to the best of us and Confectionery Warehouse can feed your sugar habit without judgement eyes.
Everyone reacts a little different on first visit to Tom's. Some run around ectastic, while others may break into song. Me personally - I managed to withhold my enthusiasm; Giant tubs of Chupa Chups? yeah that's cool. Peanut Butter M&M's... that's pretty sweet. Yes, I was cool as a cucumber until I spotted them... POP TARTS (!) in every flavour that has ever existed. Hello happiness.

About
FourThousand is a subcultural guide to Brisbane, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Brisbane writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FourThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
