So me and my buddy from last year totally lamed out on each other. I'm happy to accept full partial responsibility. Jurors should takes consideration of the fact that I'm lazy and I moved house a lot during that time. We share a last name irl so he must understand right?
But you know, a man likes to pay his debts/trade his candy, so paging DarknessBear. Has anyone seen DarknessBear. DarknessBear please come to the information desk and check your PM's. I got a catering size slab of vegemite needs to go north.

Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider
Is it too late to get in on this?
Me neither.

Sorry guys. I didn't have a lot of time yesterday. Did you know, we've got 30 pairs, that's 60 people I have to PM. anyway, If you wanna get a jump on it, here's a spreadsheet that has all the pairs. I'll still be sending out PMs though.

If there were a way to make liquorice covered bugs, that would be the end of Candy.

Yay, got everyone PM'd. Wasn't really that bad once I got into the rhythm and figured out I didn't have to cut n' paste each one. Just hit the back button and swap the names around.
So everyone's been PM'd
I've set the shipping deadline to October 29th @ 9:06pm PDT
I'll make a nice banner for the 2nd post when I get home.

I'm all psyched, just waiting for a reply and I can start going wild on all the candy shops and supermarkets
My YouTube fans have been waiting for this. Ever since I put my video which was meant just for adamsappel I kept random subscribers.
Give us a link!

There ain't nothing wrong with salty licorice dudes...
It doesn't seem to agree all that well with the north american palate, if my empirical testing is to be believed. Granted I had only 8 victims or so, but they all grimaced delightfully and spat it out.
To all the other finns:
Has anyone looked into any alternatives to Itella? Their package prices to the US are pretty brutal, would kinda suck to spend more on P&P than the candy itself.
There really aren't any other options. Matkahuolto doesn't do any shipments abroad.It doesn't seem to agree all that well with the north american palate, if my empirical testing is to be believed. Granted I had only 8 victims or so, but they all grimaced delightfully and spat it out.

Last year my candy shipment to the US cost around 40, so pretty much same as all the candy I bought.
If you live near Helsinki you might have more options.

Bought about half the agreed budget today. I'm gonna look in other shops to see what specialty items there are.

I went out and bought a preposterous amount of treats today! When I get them all laid out I'll post a (censored for surprise) pic.

You people can send me your unwanted licorice if you like. I want to sample the blackest, saltiest licorice... as black as my soul and as salty as the tears of my enemies.

2 kg of tasty for TriAceJP
It's really not easy to limit yourself to 2 kg, but the next largest parcel price would have been for 5 and more than twice as expensive to send :/
