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!
Ahhhh! A Canadian to the rescue!
I was starting to worry I might not get a fix o’ that candy from the great white north!!!
Thank you so much, tisiphone. Now the people who were waiting can get their candy, too! Horray!

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 ?
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?
I was paired up with d12.
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 - 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!!!

Racinchikki, check your emai. d12, you too.
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?

Try that for the chocolate bar heaven…
Woo hoo!
Thanks for…enabling me.
I was waaay late with scout1222’s fix, but I finally put it out in the mail today. Phew. Must please Real Life Intervention (we just moved - glad that’s over).
"plead". PLEAD, dammit, not “please”. I even previewed and didn’t catch that one!
Well, you’re pleasing me by sending out a package-o-candy. So it was an honest mistake…
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 !!!
