There’s a sweet surprise waiting for folks over at Metropolis at Metrotown.
Metropolis Tasty Treats is a 10-day exhibit featuring “larger-than-life” art displays and samplings from different snack vendors in the mall.
Among the displays are an eight-foot doughnut, a lollipop tree sprouting from a cupcake, and a seven-foot-tall gumball machine stuffed with 22,000 candy jawbreakers, noted a press release.
For 25 cents, folks can buy one of the jawbreakers, with all proceeds from the sales going to the Burnaby Neighbourhood House.
Guests also have a chance to win a $1,000 shopping spree if they can correctly guess how many jellybeans are in the display case. Plus if you share your favourite photos from the exhibit on Instagram, you could win some other prizes.
The exhibit runs until Sunday, Aug. 20, and there will be different vendors serving up samples of their own sweet or salty treats throughout the event. Go to www.tinyurl.com/mettreats for details, including a sampling schedule. You’ll find the exhibit in the mall’s grand court.
