In case of emergency, I could take two - purely out of the goodness of my heart and to spread the Kinder gospel. It has nothing to do with sugar greed, honest! ---

Thank you so much, **tisiphone**. Now the people who were waiting can get their candy, too! Horray! ---

- bump \* Just checking in to say that I finally got off my lazy bum and have delivered a package of Dulce de Leche M&M’s to the mail room this morning. **NE Texan** has been notified that his candy is on its way shortly. So… has anyone else gotten their loot??? ---

Oh, good, I wondered where this thread went to. I mailed **tisiphone’s** treats --several Mary Sue Easter Eggs in different flavors and two boxes of assorted Bomboy’s chocolates-- about a week ago. The lady at the post office was really intrigued by the whole idea of a message board where we do stuff like this. I had to agree that this is pretty cool. ---

I emailed the guy I was matched up with and never heard back from him, so I haven’t even sent my box out yet. I feel bad. ---

By the way, have you guys checked out [http://www.cybercandy.co.uk](http://www.cybercandy.co.uk) ? If you’re willing to pay, that site has a remarkable selection of weird and wonderful confections from around the world: Jaffas from New Zealand, Golden Rough from Australia, Muscat Gummies from Japan, Beechies Violet gum from South Africa, and much, much more. ---

I haven’t gotten mine yet, but everything’s on its’ way… **racinchikki** Who were you supposed to be sending stuff to again? I can double-check the address for you if I still have it. But don’t worry, I think most people sent it well after Easter, at the least. The important part is that it gets sent in a reasonable time-if they don’t respond, they mustn’t be in a hurry…And **scout** You’ve got some eggles on the way when I make it to the post office. Yay! ---

Update: I got my Box O’ Goodies! [sup]TM[/sup]. Thanks very very much for all the goodies. The Peeps are quite tasty, but I can only eat one or two at a time, they’re so sweet. (No letter was included, but the tastitess of everything I’ve tried so far is it’s own satisfaction.) Anybody else got anything yet? ---

Arrghhhh! I wish this thread would have been started a few weeks ago. I’m downright OBSESSED with Cadbury Fusion bars!! I actually just the other day got a case of those suckers in the mails the other day from [www.globalresponses.com](http://www.globalresponses.com) - if any other americans need supplied with yummy canadian goodness, that’s a good resource. Someone (frannie??) found that link for me in chat several weeks ago - thankyou!!! sic ---

That global responses page is all whacked out. I couldn’t get into candy bar heaven, since there was another icon (Elgin furs) covering it up. Icons & pictures everywhere! Does it look like that to you, too? ---

I got my candy! No Giant Kinder Egg but 9, count em 9 regular sized ones plus some consolation candy! Wheeeee! I had my Aero bar with lunch today. The chocolate’s not bad but I’m confused by air as a selling point. Chocolate…Now with… AIR! ---

Anyone know where I can get a BAR SIX? I don’t know what I’d do for one of those. At the very least, I would gladly trade some Canadian goodies for a few !!! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sweeeet-caaaaandy/97863.md?page=1)
