DARKNESS ADVANCED CANDY TRADE-OFF




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

I'll swap you guys a box of British candy for a box of American candy. Linko and Slade are already up in this ****.




Posted by Linko_16

Do you already have Candy Corn? I can include some in my shipment since it's Halloween and all; some like it and some don't, but I love the stuff.

Either way, I don't think you're getting a fair deal. American candy isn't the greatest, really... but I'll try to pick out some nice stuff.




Posted by Slade

****, I NEED A BOX


Oh yeah, and I'm not sure what you guys don't have over there. msn get




Posted by Linko_16

Hm. Do we have to worry about chocolate melting?




Posted by Dexter

Two weeks and I'll have Japanese candy box available.




Posted by The Judge

Having a box of British candy again sounds delightful, and I don't want to wait for my aunt and uncle to visit again. You'd have to let me pick, though, like I'd let you pick.

You do realise american candy is complete **** compared to Scottish or British candy right? Even Canadian candy sucks compared to them, and it's quite a bit better than American.



Posted by Ant

oh please.

no i will not join with you.




Posted by The Judge

Anthony has never had English Candy and doesn't know what blasphemous words he speaks. Forgive him, please.




Posted by Ant

yes I have. from what you gave me, was kinda tangy




Posted by The Judge

You ate Smarties. What the hell do you expect.




Posted by Kit

Smarties aren't tangy, what the ****.




Posted by The Judge

The ones I had were.

SHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPP

I think it's more out of interest rather than "lol were trading our **** for some of the good ****"

I'd do it but I don't really want to give my address to anybody. :)

Kit nailed it. I'm just interested in finding out what certain things taste like, having heard them mentioned on various American TV shows that are so big over here.

... And we don't have candy corn.




Posted by cool gamer dad

oh man, do you guys have Hot Tamales? Do you want some Hot Tamales?

Or Mike and Ikes? Or Zours?




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

we have none of those things.




Posted by Slade

****, son. How about Whoppers? Swedish Fish? Sweet Tarts? Sugar Daddies? Sourpatch kids? Warheads?




Posted by Omni

I don't like candy enough to participate, but there's apparently a lot of things over here that they don't have, and some of it is pretty neat.




Posted by Vampnagel P. Wingpire

Want some Canadian candy?

Imagine wax. Lots of it. And a bit of chocolate. There you go.

Also, sweedish berries > fish. Man, that makes me want to buy some now. Or maybe something sour instead, like sour keys.



Posted by mis0

American candy is, for the most part, crap. One of the things I made sure to bring back from my trip to europe was various candies. We haven't got anything that compares stateside.

I'll include a bar of basic Hershey's chocolate and you can judge it yourself.

Man, I'm going to have fun next time I'm at the store.




Posted by Ant

I REALLY LIKE THIS TREAD I DEAD! I BRING S PEOPLE TOGETHER!
WEEEEEEEEEEE!

AND YEAH BRITISH CANDY IS GOOD IN IT'S OWN WAY! AND NAGELWING POSTED HERE HOLY **** ****ING MIRICLE!

Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

lisa, change your name to nagelwing




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

What do you guys want from Britain?




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

what's the scottish chocolate that's like a bar, except each peace is round, kinda like a rolo. My old teacher brought that back once and **** best chocolate ever.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

[IMG]http://www.chocablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/chocorange2.jpg[/IMG]

A chocolate orange bar? idk




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

**** no. we got those here, tastes like ****. It looks like a rolo, but not. It's called something scottish or something.

****, I should just call my teacher, I probably still have her email. SIX YEARS LATER "remember that chocolate you gave me in grade eleven...?"




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

http://www.leesfoods.co.uk/teacakes.html

These?




Posted by Vampnagel P. Wingpire

Nagelwing? I approve.

lol I should send you some ****ty maple candy.




Posted by Sterling

Yup.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

maple fudge? gross

and no, x, that ain't it. It's like straight-up chocolate with nothing in it as far as I remember... **** I wish I knew what it was. I would so get you to send me some of that.




Posted by cool gamer dad


Quoting Angelwing: Want some Canadian candy?

yes

if you know what I mean hahaha



Posted by Kit


Quoting Vampiro V. Empire: **** I wish I knew what it was. I would so get you to send me some of that.


Remember what the packaging looked like?

Does your continent have fruit pastilles and wine gums?



Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

If I was gonna make a box, it would probably have:

Dairy Milk
Fruit Pastilles
Smarties
Flake
Wispa
Crunchie

and anything you guys /r/'d. A box would probably only cost me




Posted by Zeta

The Smarties thing confused me until I wiki'd and saw there were 2 different candies with the same name.




Posted by mis0

Yeah, it's the shipping that'll be pricey.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

[quote=mis0;764851]Yeah, it's the shipping that'll be pricey.

****, I forgot that all this would be coming in a box. :(




Posted by Ant

wait, you can't send candy through the internet?




Posted by Linko_16


Quoting Zeta: The Smarties thing confused me until I wiki'd and saw there were 2 different candies with the same name.


Same here.

I'll include some American Smarties in my package. I love those things.




Posted by Slade

I still have a floppy drive. Would that work?



red mage'd

yeah, yeah the smarties thing confused me too blah blah blah go america




Posted by Vampnagel P. Wingpire

Your smarties are our rockets, aren't they? Too lazy to check right now.

I need to find out about some good brit candy that we can't get here because half the ones you named we can get. hmmm

and we actually have good maple candies/suckers.




Posted by Arcadios

Only candy I've ever eaten outside of America are ones from Guatemala and El Salvador but those are imported here anyways and a coffee bar from Canada when I was 12 from my grandmother's sister. It was good.




Posted by Slade

Only "foreign" candy I've had was from the mexican store in my town. My spanish teacher passed it out if we colored well, or something- this was sophomore year in high school. D:

Anyways, it tasted alright for about 20 seconds, and then you got to the pepper filling. Ugh. The stuff had the texture of chewing tobacco, and tasted even worse.


Quoted post: and anything you guys /r/'d.

a giant chocolate queen elizabeth



Posted by Vampiro V. Empire


Quoted post: Remember what the packaging looked like?


it was gold and relatively small in size, maybe three inches in length. It came in a bigger box with at least ten of these individually wrapped chocolates... that's pretty much it.

Besides, when I emailed my old teacher today she had no idea what I was talking about. So no help there.

And yeah, we have wine gums.

Could send you a few real ones, from tah real country.




Posted by Slade

What happened to you leaving? I said "bai" and everything. This is tearing me apart.




Posted by ExoXile

I left!

But then I come back!

Hai Slade! ^___^




Posted by Slade





Posted by nich

Rockets and Candy Corn for the ultimate ****ing win. All Maynard's (Bassett's for you Brits) candy gets an honourable mention. I can't wait for Halloween.




Posted by Ant

why do you people like candy corn so much? not that great




Posted by Linko_16

Oh, it is. It just doesn't like you.




Posted by The Judge

Candy corn is the best candy ever produced in the 50's. They still use their original stockpile to this day.




Posted by nich

Oh hey Lewis Black

People tend to hate candy corn, not sure why, I think it's wonderful :(




Posted by Ant

I don't hate it. I'm just not fond of it.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Candy corn always seemed like that type of candy people gave out because of tradition, but no one really liked. It's the Halloween's equivalANT of fruit cake.




Posted by Slade

fruit cake. BLEHGK




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

and yet, people still give them out. HUH




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

Kinda like monkey nuts.




Posted by Slade


Quoting Vampiro V. Empire: and yet, people still give them out. BLEHGK

fix'd

Thank goodness our biggest family gatherings consist of like 10 people. I find fruit cake to be more resplendent in larger get-togethers.



Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

You know a cake ****ing sucks when you get it through the mail thirty states over.




Posted by ExoXile

Got a rum cake last year from the gal.

It was still awesome even though it had traveled across half the globe.




Posted by Linko_16

We're still doing this, right? 'Cause I just bought my candy today. Well, most of it; they didn't have any Candy Corn, I'll have to find it elsewhere.

I got...

A bar of Hershey's chocolate (for comparison to European chocolate),
A medium bag of M&M's,
A medium bag of Peanut M&M's,
A bag of Smarties,
A package of Red Vines Licorice,
A package of Resse's Peanut Butter Cups,
A few Butterfingers bars,
and a few bars of Hershey's "Cookies and Cream."




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

holy ****

I forgot.




Posted by Slade

Haha, I decided to wait and see if X still wanted to. He is a key player in this whole thing, after all.

If it's still on I'll grab some candy soon. Does anyone know how much shipping will cost?




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

Shipping is the main thing that worries me. Otherwise, still up4it.




Posted by Linko_16


Quoting The X: holy ****

I forgot.


It's okay, you can take your time. Just let me know if you decide to forget about it, 'cause in that case I wouldn't mind keeping all this for myself.

EDIT - yeah, I'm still wondering just how much it's going to cost me to ship to Switzerland. And it'll be even worse for X, since he'll have to ship to several people.




Posted by Slade

Scotland*


...Right?




Posted by Linko_16

... Uh, right. Sorry.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

The great thing about this is the fact that even if you do buy all the **** and X doesn't wanna do it... you still got a ****ing ton of candy to eat.




Posted by Slade

**** YEAH CANDY, MAN


X, I'm gonna buy you/me like 50 packages of warheads, that way if the "you" part gets dropped, me gets a ton of awesome candy.




Posted by Ant

warheads are alright...I guess...




Posted by Slade

**** MAN HAVE YOU EVER STUFFED LIKE 10 LEMONS IN YOUR MOUTH AT THE SAME TIME???!?!


MEGA WARHEADS FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

It would be pretty jawesome if I lived in Switzerland.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire


Quoted post: ExoXile agrees: SWEDEN, GAL, VIKINGS IT ALL RAWKS!!!


Doesn't work that way.

And warheads kinda suck...



Posted by Ant

they were good when I was a kid.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Not even then.




Posted by Ant

when IIIIIIIIII was a kid. not you




Posted by Slade

They've been great my whole life, but they were even better when ant was a kid.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

weren't we all kids once... once...

also, why did linko think X lived in Switzerland?




Posted by Ant

maybe it has something to do with dickgirls?




Posted by Slade

america



edit: ant, you can't just go and ninja god's country




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Israel?




Posted by Slade

Forget them. *** is on our side, now. AND HE'S WHITE! DON'T YOU FORGET IT




Posted by Linko_16


Quoting Vampiro V. Empire: also, why did linko think X lived in Switzerland?


They both start with an "S" and end with "land." Got mixed up.



Posted by Ant

sland?




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Pretty nice place that Sland this time of year.




Posted by Ant

Yeah, but going to Sland during Smarch? BAAAAAAAD IDEA




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

It's that **** smarch weather. I always gotta crank my willie all the way up during that month.




Posted by Ant

I would advise against that. what with the murderous rage.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

I'd rather be warm than sleep.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Actually I'd rather sleep, but I'd like to warm too.




Posted by NES Queen

candy corn is nearly as bad as peeps, gross. the main difference I notice betwen candy here in the states versus overseas is that we're predominantly run by Hersheys and Mars, whereas Cadbury rules supreme over there. Cadbury chocolate is so much nicer.

As long as you keep the weight of the package down and only send off a few bars, not a whole case of them, shipping shouldn't be too bad. When I shipped out Klarth's bday present last year it cost roughly $20, but that was because it was heavy and full of crap. A few candy bars should cost less than $10 I'm guessing.

Or

just buy your own **** candy from [URL="http://www.candydirect.com/bars/bars.html"]here[/URL]. They have a decent mix of US and UK candy, though some are greatly missing.




Posted by Linko_16

I already bought a big, weighty bunch, but I don't mind paying the shipping if it's just one package. It's X's shipping I'm worried about.

Let me know soon if you want to go through with it or not, it's not going to feel right eating this big bunch of American candy myself if it's too long after Halloween.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

I think you can eat it.




Posted by Linko_16

K. No hard feelings.

Have a fun not-Halloween up there in Switzerland.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire


Quoted post: just buy your own **** candy from here. They have a decent mix of US and UK candy, though some are greatly missing.


YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT. I want candy x has touched...



Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

That's kinda creepy, in an awesome way. YOU'RE JUST A BUNCH OF DATA TO ME GUYS




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Star Trek sucks, you faggot.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

Oh, I wasn't talking about that faggot.

I hate Star Trek. IT'S NO STAR WARS, THATS FOR SURE




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

That'd be pretty jawsome if we were all just bots saying scripted strings of text in response to other posted text by bots. It'd also explain a lot of DA's random and constantly shifting topics.




Posted by Ant

oh man...x touched candy. First I would sniff the **** out of the candy wrapper before I even thought of eating it.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

I'd save them all in an air-tight container so I'd never lose the scent. A little piece of X would be with me forever in candy wrapper form.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

Don't bother, it would totally reek of haggis.




Posted by Ant

and Shepherds pie. judge eats it on a daily basis.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Oh man, I can smell it already... ****, this is going to be amazing.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

[quote=Ant;768590]and Shepherds pie. judge eats it on a daily basis.
Shepherd's Pie is an English thing.

Speaking of Star Trek/Wars, I'm watching Spaceballs right now. Pretty sweet ****.
