Kolkata Logence waala Coaster

Kolkata’s traditional, locally sold lozenges, often sold by street vendors (“feriwala”) on buses and trains, represent a nostalgic, low-cost confectionery culture. Historically linked with local, small-scale production, they often feature simple flavors like mango, orange, and ginger, serving as an affordable treat, notes the Times of India. These sweets are deeply embedded in the daily commute and local street life, often associated with the distinct, nostalgic cries of vendors (“feriwalar dak”). A famous, real-life figure is Jamuna Das (or Roy), known as “Lozenge Mashi” or “Lozenge Didi,” who has been a staple at Kolkata Maidan football matches, selling her,four-flavor lozenges—mango, orange, pineapple, and ginger—for decades.
