Okay, about this candy exchange...

[conuly]

Jazzy, if you wanna send candy, really, let's get a list going of candies that can't be found in the US but are in England. And your skittles sound good.

Then we can do the other list. Hm....

Skittles really are disgusting. Fakey tasting flavours like Nerds but chewy.

NZ chocolate rocks - go Cadbury! Though I must admit to liking Hershey's milk duds despite the stupid name.

Okay- if you have these, just say so.
Skittles (English flavours- strawberry, blackcurrant, orange, lemon, lime)
Dairy Milk with Mint
Maltesers
Crunchie
Polos(peppermint, spearmint, fruit)
Murray Mints
Kendal Mint Cake
Fruit Pastilles
Maynard's Wine Gums
Sherbert Dib-dabs
Stick of seaside rock

Hmm, what else? There are more, but either they wont send well (ie, Party Rings) or I think they're not very nice(ie, aniseed)

[dandelion.livejournal.com]

Oh- Yorkies(original, honeycomb, raisin), Aeros(mint, orange, honeycomb, white, original), Toffos(original, banana), Munchies(original, mint) and Terry's chocolate orange. Just remembering some things from the vending machine.

[conuly]

We have chocolate oranges, but they're expensive. Today I'll stroll by the candy section of any store and list stuffs for you, 'k?

[dandelion.livejournal.com]

Do you have chocolate orange Segsations?

[meteorie.livejournal.com]

Wait, where do you live? In New York? Oh ok.. and Jazzy lives outside the U.S... I didn't know that..

Skittles are ok. I think it's neat that some candies and foods aren't in the U.S. or in England or wherever, it makes them kind of special. In French I, the teacher told us that people in France pay a lot for blue jeans and they don't have a certain kind of soda (it might have been Dr. Pepper, but I forgot), so we were all making plans to smuggle blue jeans and soda on the France trip XD

Blackcurrent skittles.. what is blackcurrent?

Oh and have you ever tried dandolion and burdock drink? I heard it is sold in England and it is suppose to taste really bad.. (I am just asking because of the neopets item, lol)

[dandelion.livejournal.com]

Blackcurrant, as in the little purplish fruits?

No, because I hate dandelions, since I used to garden. i doubt i'd like a drink made from that hideous weed...

[the-lady-aurora.livejournal.com]

Dandelion and Burdock is a lovely drink. Ignore the fact that it's supposed to be made from plants from the garden - it's just flavourings. It's like a fruity cola/vimto type of thing but sort of creamy too.

[conuly]

Don't know.

Hm. I'll list all the Hershey's chocolates I can think of, you tell me what you have...

Nutrageous
Snickers
Milky Way
Butterfinger (nobody better lay a finger on my butterfinger)
Mounds
Almond Joy (sometimes you feel like a nut... sometimes you don't... almond joy's got nuts... mounds don't...)
Three Musketeers


Okay, that's all the chocolate I can think of.

You have twizzlers, right? And good 'n plenty? And sweet tarts, duh, what about smarties? Not the canadian kind, either, these are the chalky things with no chocolate that I love so much... Or pixi stix... Love pixi stix...

Does it have to be just candy? What about potato chips or whatever?

[dandelion.livejournal.com]

Nutrageous Nope
Snickers Yes
Milky Way Yes
Butterfinger (nobody better lay a finger on my butterfinger) No
Mounds No
Almond Joy (sometimes you feel like a nut... sometimes you don't... almond joy's got nuts... mounds don't...) No, but I'm not much of an almond fan
Three Musketeers No
Okay, that's all the chocolate I can think of.

You have twizzlers, right? Nope
And good 'n plenty? Nope
And sweet tarts Nope
, duh, what about smarties? Not the canadian kind, either, these are the chalky things with no chocolate that I love so much... Ours have a crispy shell and chocolate inside, so no
Or pixi stix... Love pixi stix... Nope

Does it have to be just candy? What about potato chips or whatever? Sure, why not. Do you have Nik-Naks? Best crisps ever...or Salt and Vinegar McCoys...

Some questions for you: Are there any items which you're certain aren't allowed into America? Do you allow in food with any colourings, even if it's banned in American candy? There's one in strawberry Skittles which I think is banned in America. Will either of us have to pay any tax on the parcel arriving in America? Do you like mint, and do you have any allergies? There, I think that's all...and do you want to keep writing about this on here, or should we PM about it?

[conuly]

I don't know about taxes, we should look into that for our own countries, I think... I'll check the post office tomorrow.

As for the food dyes, I don't think they'll check for that. I know there's one type of red dye that isn't allowed in American candy because it's believed to be a carcinogen, but I'm not sure if your red skittles have that dye or not.

I do like mint (but not spearmint), and I don't have any allergies... I don't like mango flavored anything, but my sister does, so that's no worries.

As for potato chips, can't stand salt and vinegar chips *shudders*

But do you have twinkies/yodels/snowballs there? (those aren't chips, don't ask why I'm mentioning them after that)

What about cooler ranch doritos? Or salsa doritos?


Hm. This is getting expensive! *grins* I think this is going to end up being multiple packages spaced out over a few months if I keep going nutty....

And if you wanna PM, that's fine. Or email, do you have my email? You should, it's listed under my LJ info.

[conuly]

Oh, and you have goldfish crackers, right? If you don't, you need to try them. My grandmother used to mix goldfish with pepper and dill and something else.... mmmmm....

And reese sticks? You have those (candy)?

i am conuly's sis.

[lizziey.livejournal.com]

that's funny. i remember when *I* took french one, we actually went on the italian class trip, and we were warned that the men there like touching, so we all sewed razor blades into our butt pockets, and on the sides of our bras. it was pretty funny every time you heard some random italian guy scream cuz he got cut...well, he shouldn;t have touched...lol.
