When German children have their first day of primary school they get a Schultüte, a paper cone filled with sweets to sweeten the start of the serious side of life.

Some parents need to learn primary skills of being school children parents: Don’t embarrass your kids!
Also, smoking is no allowed on schoolgrounds.

In these more sugar-aware days, are they still always filled with sweets?

The bulk is usually made up of little things for school, like novelty erasers, pencil sharpeners, special markers, and so on. But a few sweets have to be in there as well.
