Oh hey, what's up? This September I was lucky enough to participate in an exciting forum organised candy swap! Willing members of the community that live from all corners of the globe would be paired up and exchange candy. This post is dedicated to the package that I sent over. The next post will feature the goodies that I've received. Sweet.
Initially, I was paired up with a man from USA and thank God I didn't. Otherwise I would have been on the bad end of a deal, since it turned out that he would eventually flake out on me. Bitter.
Thankfully, I was able to find a new partner from France! These are the photos that he took when he finally received them. Of course, I had to send those Aussie staples such as the almighty Tim Tam. My girlfriend and I made it a point to get as much variety and candies that weren't easily obtainable in France.
These were some of his 'testimonials' from our kind offering that makes me pretty proud.
"yo dawg, we've put unhealthy food in your unhealthy candy"
"Thank you so much caromelo (the both of you) for this awesome selection. There's EVERYTHING : the famous TimTam I'll finally get to taste, natural candy, fat free candy, chocolate and caramel bars, chewy candy, sour candy, bears and even a python !"
I think we did a pretty great job there! The only downside is the shipping. The amount of candy was around $25 worth and for a parcel under 2kg, shipping was around $60-70. It's a bit unfair, considering prices around the world for international shipping was a lot more competitively priced, and had flat rate boxes, but I'll leave ranting about Australia Post for another.....post. Hehe.
Anyways if you are able participate in a international candy swap somehow. Go ahead! Do it! Just make sure your partner is pretty excited for it too and it'll be all good.
