EN got a package
|
Siriku, your package finally arrived. You sent it March 4th, so it took over a month to get here; weird. Let's look inside, shall we? http://i25.tinypic.com/2znnau1.jpg http://i26.tinypic.com/903jg8.jpg First of all, a buttload of candy, or "sweets" as the British refer to them as. The chocolate is great. I remember eating Smarties when I lived in Switzerland, but that Clear Fruit stuff looks kind of sketchy. I'll let you know what I think when I try it. But I do love how the package apologizes for not being recyclable. Then there're some Duel Masters trading cards, whatever those are. There's an DVD containing an episode of Only Fools and Horses, which you tell me is one of your favorite comedy shows. There's a pamphlet from some anime convention as well as what I'm guessing is the equivilent of $100 worth of British coins. It's 41 pence, however much that is. There's also a cool spiral fossil. I used to collect rocks, so that's pretty neat. Last but not least is a black "Badi Candle". This will go nicely in my new house. Thanks for all of the fun stuff. I'll make sure to let you know how I liked the DVD and the candy.

Since when did blue smarties leave? And what's wrong with Siriku's hand? |

No clue about the blue. And Siriku said, "Sorry for handwriting. I've buggered my hand up somehow." =( |

Ah, finally got it, awesome =) Yeah, hand was impaired at the time of writing, my handwriting is for the most part much better. Duel Masters cards were chucked in because I thought it'd be fun to throw in the first thing I saw lying around, and happened to be them =P. Clear Fruit were an afterthough. They're likeable enough, though they are a bit on the cheap side. Blue Smarties got removed for about a year after they got rid of all Artificial colourings, and couldn't find a natural blue colouring. They either gave up, or found one, since they got rid of the newly instated white, and gave us back blue. But yeah, wasn't sure if you'd tried Cadburies or not, but woo! Not sure if you'll like Only Fools and Horses, it is the very definition of British Comedy, and may require some translation for the various bits of cockney slang. Thought i'd give it a shot anyway,heh. |

"Duel Masters cards were chucked in because I thought it'd be fun to throw in the first thing I saw lying around, and happened to be them =P." Translation: I was cleaning my room and they needed to be gotten rid of. "Blue Smarties got removed for about a year after they got rid of all Artificial colourings, and couldn't find a natural blue colouring. They either gave up, or found one, since they got rid of the newly instated white, and gave us back blue." Wow, didn't know it was such a big controversy over that. Maybe EN can check the package writing to see if they use artificial colouring for blue? Right now in NA, they're pulling some stunt with having a white package, asking us to design one, or scribble on it or something. And now we have extra-sour skittles. I split a package with a friend yesterday while studying and later that day, just drinking cranberry juice burned my tongue. )-: Hersheys > Cadburys |

Qwey, blue Smarties were so controversial people sorted them out and sent them back! Brits are like that. They're very polite in their demonstrations. The blue ones stained clothes! Believe it or not! Christ alone knows what was in it. You tried the extra sour Skittles!?!?!? I tried them once and had to pluck up courage to eat more after the first one. Offer them to people who are unaware, the reaction is great. WileEJunior was given some once, I found them in the fish tank. I had to pick them out individually. Even the greedy Emperor 'I'll try anything once' Angel fish wasn't eating them. Only Fools and Horses. The best. |

The packaging says no artificial anything, so I guess it's a natural blue. |

hmmm... I wonder what they're colouring it with. Old colouring used to be made from ground up bugs. It's natural, right? "Hersheys is so bitter compared to Cadburys D:" Eggzactly. When choco is too sweet, it's just disgusting. Generally, the cheaper the choco, the sweeter it is. The more expensive kinds of choco don't use tonnes of sugar to mask the true chocolatey taste. Love Ferrero Rocher and Lindt. "You tried the extra sour Skittles!?!?!? I tried them once and had to pluck up courage to eat more after the first one. Offer them to people who are unaware, the reaction is great. WileEJunior was given some once, I found them in the fish tank. I had to pick them out individually. Even the greedy Emperor 'I'll try anything once' Angel fish wasn't eating them." Oh come on they're not that bad. You Irish are just as bad as the Polish. You've got a cuisine that consists of...what?...potatoes, like their bland crumbly cottage cheese cheese-cakes, so anything with an ounce of flavour (besides salt) is just too much for your delicate palates. I could speak again in a day. "Qwey, blue Smarties were so controversial people sorted them out and sent them back! Brits are like that. They're very polite in their demonstrations." Whaaat? You didn't burn american flags for the demonstration? You guys are mellowing. |

What! I know everything there is to know about potatoes! Just ask me! Don't forget though, we boil a mean bland cabbage to go with those spuds, and salt, it's the only seasoning there is, isn't it?!?!?? I crackle when I move those arteries are so hard :) |
