Sneakpeek for Baconsaurus.. Wooooo I'm excited!

You asked for savory over sweet. Oh you got it sir!

This is the loot sitting on the passenger seat of my car so it's bunched together. There is stuff under the stuff :)

I will be shipping this today or tomorrow.

All right I can't wait! Your package is sitting here nice and tightly waiting to be shipped. It barely fit so I hope you won't receive everything all squished together. With some last minutes additions the sweet/savoury scale unfortunately slipped back a little so it's 50-50 now. There's just too much good sweet stuff available this time of year. I've also added tags to everything so that you're not for a total surprise when you try everything out, plus I added the Dutch pronunciation to everything for some extra fun.

As a bystander, a filthy wretched no good candyless bystander, please I'd love for gaffers to do some "live" candy testing and put it up on youtube or something so the rest of us can partake in the glory that is ethnic candy.

I second this, and I'll add them to the media section of the OT.

I should be able to get a courier to collect mine by Tuesday.

Tomorrow, even, if I can get a reply from caffeinedreamer soon.

So, uhh, caffeinedreamer, check your PMs/email :p

Please :(

Kissed a mod for a tag; liked it
The weight went over the limit so I've had to leave a few things out. There's still a big variety, just slightly less of it. Sorry turtle.

Thanks, FliXFantatier!

If you feel as if I didn't send you enough stuff, feel free to let me know. I will gladly send you some more.

Sending is fun but man, am I looking forward to people unwrapping what they received. Keep posting pictures and commentary, I love it :D

I really should send more variety when I do these. Usually I send about the same amount of raw weight as I'm seeing here, but as 8-12 large bulk items, not as the several dozen small varieties we're seeing here

10 pounds of candy going out today. I would have had it sent sooner, but I just couldn't get to the post office during hours for like a week straight.

My package from silvon arrived today! Thanks, dude.

I did say to my girlfriend that I would open it with her, but will be 2 weeks before she comes to town. Not sure I can wait, and the thread demands pics :)

Some baking to do tonight, but will do an unboxing sometime in the next couple of days and get some pics up.

So what happens if you heard nothing from your partner after the deadline?
Click to expand...

So you and YoYo Switch exchanged addresses, it looks like you've shipped yours. But haven't heard that he's shipped yours? I'm guessing you've PM'd him already?

I PM'd him we'll see if he responds. Most I can honestly do is ban him from future Candy Swaps that I run.

And send the

after him.

Got my candy from Britain today. Yay! And now I finally have myself new fancy hammer, thanks!

Thanks a bunch to JessicaPadkin, you were a great candy buddy!

Yay, hope you enjoy it all!

I also hope that there aren't too many sweets that you can easily find in Finland too. It's actually quite hard to figure out what's unique to the UK...

Ahh, Well I have sent out my package. Haven't had internet for the last two weeks so haven't

been able to upload any pictures. Anyway, man it's difficult to buy things for someone who

has different tastes to you. I hope Rising Zan likes his stash. :)

Here is a crappy photo of the packaged box

It's really hard to not just go mental and buy the whole shop.

Anyway, on my sugar quest, I found these and they are amazing!

Ha, I was only hypothetically asking. We did exchange PMs last Thursday and he said he'd PM his tracking number but no response so far. Post office issues because of Storm Sandy perhaps? I know he recieved my package yesterday...Thank you Fedex tracking.

Sent mine off yesterday, 3.9kg in total, those chocolate bars sure do stack up the weight.

I included some kiwi stuff as well that's not really candy but should prove interesting.

Got a surprise when I came home today:



The package has everything - candies, chocolates cookies, gummies - it's just so much more than I expected, thanks a lot Mario!

Nice, I can see a few in there that got sent in my package. Can't believe I forgot about Minties though.

About half an hour ago I woke up to the sound of someone ringing my buzzer. Normally I wouldn't give two damns about it since I wasn't exactly expecting company but then my girlfriend noted that perhaps it was the mailman. I bolted lightning-fast out of the bed to get the door and it truly was the maildude!

Don't fret about it, because I assume that you're talking about
Werther's Originals. Don't sweat it - we have them in Finland as well but these bad boys are green apple-flavored. I've never even dared to dream about Werther's having any other flavors besides the original :D

weird, in case you haven't seen my PM, I got this from USPS: "Addressee requests own pick-up - Item being held, addressee being notified." Your candy awaits!
